Bill and Hillary Clinton's Statement on SCOTUS Marriage Equality Decisions

Statement by President and Secretary Clinton on Today's Supreme Court Decisions on Marriage Equality

Jun 26, 2013 | President Clinton and Secretary Clinton | New York, NY  | Statement

By overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, the Court recognized that discrimination towards any group holds us all back in our efforts to form a more perfect union. We are also encouraged that marriage equality may soon return to California. We applaud the hard work of the advocates who have fought so relentlessly for this day, and congratulate Edie Windsor on her historic victory.
