mar 29, 2000 - The Central Conference of American Rabbis (Reform Judaism) votes to allow rabbis to perform a marriage ritual between people of the same sex.
Description:
The largest group of rabbis become the first religious group to officially sanction same-sex unions.500 members of the Central Conference of American Rabbis approved a solution to rabbis that perform marriage ritual through the same sex
The 1800 Rabbis hopes another religious group follows their lead.
This event is important to this decade because it was a big step for the LGBT community and showed other religious groups that people of the same sex deserve the same rights as other people do.
