Quote by Obergefell v. Hodges
"The reasons why same-sex couples have the same right to marry as opposite-sex couples is rooted in the constitutional principles of equal protection and due process."
More from Obergefell v. Hodges
"The Constitution grants them a fundamental 'right to marry.'"
"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family."
"It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage."
"Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves."
