United States Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) spoke out in support of marriage equality today at the United for Marriage rally in New York City, saying that marriage for same-sex couples is "inevitable." Watch Congressman Nadler's remarks below:
"We're here today to voice our unwavering support for Edie Windsor and for the rights for all Americans to marry whoever they choose, whoever they love," said Rep. Nadler. "The progress in this is inexorable and inevitable. It's our job not to relax noting its inevitability. It's our job to redouble our efforts so that it's not only inevitable but immediate, so that people today can enjoy the benefits of equality and liberty."
GLAAD is actively working with the Respect for Marriage Coalition, as well as with the United for Marriage Coalition. We are working to elevate the voices of same-sex couples across the nation in order to build support for marriage equality. It is time for our nation's highest court to ensure that same-sex couples are treated fairly under the law - and we need you to help make that happen.
