Pallone Statement on Historic Supreme Court Ruling on Marriage Equality

Statement

"The ruling is a huge victory for equality and our country. The Supreme Court has held what I have long argued and advocated -- the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of due process and equal protection support marriage equality. I commend the Supreme Court for choosing inclusion rather than discrimination today. An immeasurable amount of time and effort has been dedicated over the years by groups and individuals committed to the basic fairness of marriage equality and proper recognition of its constitutionality. Today's ruling is a historic culmination of those efforts. The landmark decision reflects what the majority of people in our country believe -- all Americans have the freedom to marry whom they love."
