The scope of same-sex marriage is this. It involves same-sex couples who wish to marry, or persons who at some point in the future may want to marry someone of the same sex. As an issue, it involves those people in all fifty US states, and in all two hundred some odd countries in the world. As for time, same-sex marriage has a history dating back to at least Ancient Roman times, is a major political issue in many places in the world today, and will have an effect continuing into the future for as long as mankind exists.
The limitations of same-sex marriage are that it does not involve heterosexual persons, persons who are already married to someone of the opposite sex, entities that are not mortal humans subject to civil law, people who are dead and buried, and members of the clergy of certain religious groups that are required to remain celibate and therefore can never marry.
