With todays historic ruling, the Supreme Court has come down on the side of equality and made a difference in the lives of millions of individuals across the nation who can now marry the person they love. I applaud the Supreme Court for standing up for the ideals this nation was founded on, and for ensuring that every American, regardless of his or her sexual orientation, has the legal right to marry in every state across the country. Congresswoman Kuster has long advocated in favor of marriage equality. Earlier this year, she joined with over 200 of her colleagues in Congress to submit an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to rule in favor of equal protection in the eyes of the law. A strong advocate for equal rights, Kuster also signed a similar amicus brief to the Supreme Court in 2012 advocating for the Court to overturn the prejudicial Defense of Marriage Act, thereby forcing the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages as legal. Kuster is a member of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, an organization dedicated to promoting equal protection under the law for LGBT Americans. She has also cosponsored the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), and she is committed to passing legislation to ensure that employees cannot be discriminated against in the workplace because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
