Obama Calls Gay-Marriage Victor

President Obama called Jim Obergefell to congratulate him Friday for his victory before the Supreme Court. “Your leadership on this has changed the country,” he said. “I couldn’t be prouder of you and your husband.” Obergefell’s husband, John Arthur, died of ALS and he sued Ohio for denying him the right to be listed on Arthur’s death certificate. “I know in my heart that John is with me today,” Obergefell said in front of the court, adding that the ruling affirms that “our love is equal.” Obergefell ended by thanking his late husband “for loving me, for making me a better man, and for giving me something worth fighting for.”
