Rev. Sharpton Statement on Supreme Court Decision Legalizing Gay Marriage Nationwide
NEW YORK – Rev. Al Sharpton, president and founder
of National Action Network (NAN), released the following statement
hailing this morning’s U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay
marriage nationwide by ruling that the U.S. Constitution
bars states from denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples:
“Today we can celebrate that the principles of
justice and equality under the law won. This a huge milestone for our
nationwide journey for equality for all, and loving couples across this
country can finally have their love and unions
recognized.
“We still have a long way to go, and as the tragedy
in South Carolina last week devastatingly showed, the march toward
progress and civil rights nationwide continues. As a nation, we must
carry the momentum from the highest court in the
land and fight against discrimination in all its forms and make sure
that all Americans – no matter whom they love, their class or color –
can exist freely and equally.”
