Wasserman Schultz Statement on SCOTUS Action Regarding Same-Sex Marriages
10/06/14 WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after the Supreme Court declined to hear appeals in cases where states had struck down bans on same-sex marriage, effectively allowing marriages to begin in Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Indiana and Wisconsin and clearing the way for marriages in as many as six additional states soon:
“Today is a momentous day in American history, one of the surest signs yet that the Supreme Court now recognizes what many of us have known to be true for years: denying same-sex couples the ability to marry is discrimination before the law, pure and simple.
“In Florida, the groundswell had already begun with South Florida courts taking the lead in striking down the state’s ban. Love is love, and it is now only a matter of when, not if, same-sex marriage bans are struck down here at home and across the rest of the United States.
“I join millions of Americans in celebrating this important milestone for families, for justice, and for our nation.”
