“Love is Love” – Rep. Chu Praises Supreme Court Decision on Marriage Equality

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that same-sex marriage is guaranteed by the Constitution. Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) released the following statement:

“This is an historic day for our country and our constant march towards equality. With today’s ruling making same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states, we have made official what gay, lesbian, transgender and straight couples have always known: love is love. No longer will children of same-sex couples have to ask why their government tells them they are not a family. No longer will same-sex spouses be denied rights and privileges at their partners’ death beds. This is an enormous relief. As we continue the march forward for equality, we must work to extinguish homophobia and discrimination from our communities and create stronger federal protections for same-sex couples. I pledge to continue this fight to make America live up to our promise of equality for all. “
