“If we are truly created equal, then our love must be equal as well… Today we can say that we have made our union [in this country] a little more perfect, as a consequence of the small acts of courage by millions throughout the decades…those who came out, who had hard talks with their parents, who believed in being loved for who they are…slowly made an entire country realize, that, love is love.” — Barack Obama, Statement on Marriage, June 26, 2015.
