Supreme Court Victory: Marriage Equality in all States

Today is a historic day! The Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. It is great day for same-sex couples and for the United States to finally recognize that all loving, committed couples have an equal right to marry. Same-sex couples and their families will now have the respect that their relationships deserve.

I am proud of the work NOW did to help achieve this victory. As early as 1995 NOW declared that “marriage is a fundamental right that must not be denied to same-sex couples.” In 2004 the NOW PAC felt so strongly about the importance of marriage equality that support for it became an endorsement criterion. And in that same year NOW passed a resolution elevating our work on marriage equality to a National Action Campaign. The national action campaign began with a focus on education – education of ourselves; candidates and elected officials; and the public. Several years later, we became involved in state legislative campaigns and ballot initiatives.

In 2011 NOW re-focused its efforts, working on marriage equality legislation and ballot initiatives. NOW activists worked hard to help achieve marriage equality in 9 states from 2011 to 2013 through state legislation and successful ballot initiatives in 2012. In other states NOW activists continued to work on education and building public support laying the foundation for further progress.

Since the Windsor Decision in June 2013, when the focus shifted to the courts, NOW’s Marriage Equality National Action Campaign also shifted its focus to demonstrating visible support for marriage equality.

These efforts all contributed to the historic victory that we celebrate today. I want to thank NOW activists for their courage in taking strong positions and for working so hard to make this day a reality.

  1. Just wondering now about Hillary Clinton’s stand on this issue. I’m reading many emails today about Bernie Sanders being compared to Hillary – her voting against same sex marriage….. Maybe NOW can settle this by an article about her……
    Cannot believe for a second that she would not be happy of the news!

  4. Vesper refuses to authorize an additional $5 million for Bond to continue,
    but fellow player and CIA agent Felix Leiter stakes Bond the
    money in exchange for letting the CIA arrest Le Chiffre.

    In the film, Bond is on a mission to bankrupt the terrorism
    financier Le Chiffre (Mikkelsen) in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale in Montenegro.
    When he wakes up, however, Bond discovers that she
    committed suicide, leaving a note explaining that she was a double agent for the USSR, pressured by her boyfriend’s kidnapping to keep him alive by feeding the Soviet Union information. Fleming used
    his wartime experiences as a member of the Naval Intelligence Division, and the
    people he met during his work, to provide plot elements; the character of Bond
    also reflected many of Fleming’s personal tastes.
    The story concerns British secret agent James Bond, gambling at a French
    casino to bankrupt the treasurer of a communist
    French trade union and member of the Russian secret service.

    “Contrary to pre-release nay-sayers, Daniel Craig has done more with James Bond in one film than some previous stars have in multiple reprises. This is terrific stuff, again positioning 007 as the action franchise to beat…” “Craig gives us James Bond in the fascinating act of inventing himself. This you do not want to miss…” After
    just earning his 00 status with his first two kills,
    he is sent to the Bahamas where he is to verse Le Chiffre in a game of
    Texas Hold ‘Em Poker.
    He follows her to a handoff of the money, where gunmen take her captive upon spotting him.
    When M reveals the money was never deposited, Bond realizes Vesper has betrayed him.
    Bond thwarts the destruction of Skyfleet’s prototype airliner, costing Le Chiffre
    his hundred-million dollar investment. Using information captured
    from Mollaka, Bond is led to corrupt Greek official Alex Dimitrios in the Bahamas, who had hired Mollaka at Le
    Chiffre’s request.
