Terri Sewells Statement on Supreme Courts ruling on Marriage Equality | 2015-06-26 | 2015 | 2015-06 | Democrat | House | AL | Terri Sewell | S001185 | sewell.house.gov | legacy | Congresswoman Terri Sewell issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality: "There are moments in American history when the trajectory of our nation shifts. Today, the Supreme Court's ruling affirmed the basic principle that our Constitution affords all Americans the same equal protections under the law, while also acknowledging our First Amendment right to maintain our own religious beliefs. Marriage licenses are an instrument of the state, and every person should have the rights afforded to all unions sanctioned by the state. This decision positively upholds the equal dignity of all Americans to enter and have the same rights afforded to every union of marriage." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
