Washington, DC - Today, the US Supreme Court issued their long-awaited ruling bringing the freedom to marry to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people nationwide. In response to the historic ruling, National Center for Transgender Equality Executive Director Mara Keisling said:
"The U.S. Supreme Court has finally ruled that gender can no longer be used to prevent couples from marrying bringing immeasurable stability to families with transgender spouses. The National Center for Transgender Equality welcomes this ruling and acknowledges that our path to equality cannot stop here. The LGBT movement must continue our work toward the legal recognition of all kinds of families while recommitting ourselves to racial, social, and economic justice for all Americans. From securing explicit employment non-discrimination protections, to ending the unsafe detention of undocumented trans immigrants, to advancing trans-affirming policies at all levels of government, our work ahead is clearer and more achievable than ever."
