The Respect for Marriage Act is now law. This is a monumental moment to celebrate especially given the makeup of the Supreme Court and Justice Thomas’ threats to come for LGBTQ rights next. I had some friends who had the opportunity to attend in person. Imani Rupert-Gordon, Executive Director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Cathy Renna, Communications Director of the National LGBTQ Task Force, and Brian Johnson, Executive Director of Equality Illinois. I asked them to record reflections of their experience and I want to share them with you now.
