Editorial Reviews

A profound and inspiring opinion expanding human rights across America, and bridging the nation's past to its present . . . Justice Kennedy’s opinion will affect the course of American history, and it will change lives starting now.”
—The New York Times
 
“[This ruling is] a victory for gay and lesbian couples who have fought so long for their basic civil rights. It’s a victory for their children, whose families will now be recognized as equal to any other. It’s a victory for the allies and friends and supporters who spent years, even decades, working and praying for change to come. And this ruling is a victory for America. This decision affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts: When all Americans are treated as equal we are all more free.”
—President Barack Obama
 
“A landmark victory for gay rights.”
—The Washington Post
 
“The Supreme Court’s historic ruling . . . granting gays and lesbians an equal right to marry nationwide puts an exclamation point on a profound shift in law and public attitudes, and creates the most significant and controversial new constitutional liberty in more than a generation.”
—Los Angeles Times
 
“The most important civil rights case in a generation.”
—The Guardian
