“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
