“I applaud the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal - and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” PeopleWellsCountryLawDecisionClassCoupleGayEqualCourtCommittedDefenseStrikesSupremeDiscriminationCommitTreatedOur CountrySupreme CourtBetter OffIn-laws Author:Barack Obama
“The Supreme Court had the choice not only which way to rule, pro- or anti-gay marriage rights, but also how they were going to rule. They could have ruled just federalism, saying, "This isn't a matter for federal; this isn't a federal issue at all. States should decide it." Or they could decide it on equal protection grounds and say that, "Gay discrimination is wrong."” WayShouldMatterStatesChoicesIssuesRightsGayEqualCourtProtectionSupremeDiscriminationSupreme CourtGay MarriageFederalismAnti GayAll StateEqual Protection Author:Barack Obama
