19. Obergefell v. Hodges
“As some of the petitioners in these cases
demonstrate, marriage embodies a love
that may endure even past death. It would
misunderstand these men and women to
say they disrespect the idea of marriage.
Their plea is that they do respect it, respect
it so deeply that they seek to find its
fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not
to be condemned to live in loneliness,
excluded from one of civilization's oldest
institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the
eyes of the law. The Constitution grants
them that right.”
— from the majority opinion written by
Justice Anthony Kennedy
