Obama hails Supreme Court gay marriage ruling as a victory for nation: America should be very proud
President Obama, who opposed same-sex marriage until three years ago, hailed the Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize gay marriage Friday as “a victory for America.”
“When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free,” Mr. Obama said in the White House Rose Garden. “This ruling will strengthen all our communities. America should be very proud.”
He called the decision “a victory for gay and lesbian couples who have fought so long for their basic civil rights.”
