Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage: Over time, I have found that gay and lesbian couples who are truly committed to each other want similar things from marriage as the rest of usthe simple freedom to build a life together based on love and commitment. If a couple is willing to stand up in front of friends, family, and God to make a lifetime promise of fidelity to each other, its not for us to deny them that opportunity. As todays decision does not affect churches first amendment rights and equalizes marriage rights for all Americans, I am in support of todays decision. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
