Atlanta, Georgia - June 26, 2015 - Georgia's Senate Democratic Caucus through Leader Steve Henson, D-Tucker, issued the following statement in response to the US Supreme Court's ruling today on Obergefell v Hodges:

"The high court's decision today in Obergefell v Hodges is a landmark for civil and human rights. For far too long same-sex couples were denied a basic liberty afforded to some, but not all. For too long, same-sex couples were living as a second-class citizens with separate and unequal rights. Today's decision corrected that error and established nationally what two-thirds of the country already knew: the right to marry who you love is a constitutional right available to every person."
