“Today marks the 10th anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage across the nation. Obergefell is living proof of the power of the states to serve as beacons of progress that can lead to national milestones. Prior to Obergefell, 37 states had legalized same-sex marriage.
“Today, Democratic-led states continue to push for full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans at a time when state Republicans are emboldened under the Trump administration to increase and renew attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.
“Obergefell was a watershed moment for our country that followed decades of efforts in the states to advance marriage equality. Democratic state legislators continue to work tirelessly every day to protect every American’s civil rights – even in the face of unprecedented and dangerous anti-LGBTQ+ policies that state Republicans and the Trump administration are pushing.
“Our legislators will continue to show up to protect the most vulnerable among our communities and stand strong for the constitutional protections of fundamental rights, and the DLCC is proud to join them in solidarity.” – From the Democratic Legislative Committee.
