Today, Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and issued a ruling that allows a lower court decision striking down Proposition 8 to take effect. “Today’s Supreme Court decisions reaffirm a bedrock principle that New Hampshire has long recognized: every American deserves equal treatment under the law. By striking down the discriminatory DOMA and returning marriage equality to California, the high court has come down squarely on the side of justice and equality for all Americans. This is a major victory and an enormous step forward in the march toward equality for our country, but our journey will continue until all Americans are treated equally under the law, no matter who they love.” ### |
