Love wins at the Supreme Court
Above is Freedom to Marry’s thirty-second nationwide TV ad — “Love Won, We All Won” — celebrating the country’s living up to its ideals and the joy this triumph will bring to so many families. A transcript follows:
Once again, America has lived up to its promise. Through conversations on front porches and around dinner tables, Americans agreed that it’s right for gay and lesbian couples to share in the freedom to marry. Our shared values of fairness, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness have made more families safer, stronger, and more connected. By opening our hearts, love won. By living up to our founding ideals, we all won.
