Thank you, President Biden and Vice-President Harris.
Both of you have been leaders for a long time when it comes to marriage equality.
Love is love is love🌈🌈
Today, I sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law – a landmark civil rights bill that honors the courage and sacrifice of generations of couples who fought for marriage equality and equal rights.

Biden: I've said before and some of you might remember, on a certain TV show, 10 years ago, I got in trouble, marriage, it's a simple proposition, who do you love? And will you be loyal to that person you love? It's not more complicated than that. pic.twitter.com/c3ia2qjP1S

For my entire career, I have fought for LGBTQ+ equality. I voted against marriage discrimination in 1996 — and am proud to lead its repeal now.
Today, we right a grievous wrong and affirm Marriage Equality with this simple, enduring truth: love is love. -NP pic.twitter.com/oJaoo42NJ4

There is history for both the President and Vice-President on this issue.👏🏾👏🏾
I'll never forget then VP Biden making history and declaring support for same-sex marriage, or then District Attorney Kamala Harris marrying same-sex couples in San Francisco back in 2004, which were the first in the nation. They are the most pro-LGBTQ+ administration in history.

No…we will not minimize the Vice-President’s long support of this issue.
diminish the moment by saying there are plenty of pens on that desk. But Jonathan came back and reaffirmed the values, beliefs, support POTUS and VP has held for this community for TWENTY years. Thank you Jonathan and Nicolle, really? Why diminish our VP? I find it disheartening
