Statement from President Joe Biden on the Anniversary of Landmark Marriage Equality Rulings

Today marks the anniversary of three landmark Supreme Court cases which were consequential in affirming the basic truth that every American should have the right to marry the person they love. Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court rulings in United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry made significant strides laying the groundwork for marriage equality in our country. They were followed two years later, to the day, by the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, finally allowing millions of LGBTQI+ Americans to marry who they love.
