WASHINGTON, DC -- In response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision to deny review of circuit court rulings in favor of marriage equality in Wisconsin, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) issued the following statement:

 

"I was elated to learn that our LGBT brothers and sisters will soon be able to legally marry the ones they love. The U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of appeals from Wisconsin and four other states seeking to prohibit gay marriage is truly a historic victory for love and equality.

 

"For the people of the great state of Wisconsin, our diversity is a source of strength. My constituents have stood by my side as we fought together against intolerance and discrimination. We have worked tirelessly to make Milwaukee a community of inclusion and respect for all. I am proud of our collective efforts and even more proud to report that Milwaukee clerks will soon begin issuing licenses to same-sex couples."
