Washington, DC, June 26, 2016
As Florida and our nation continue healing from the tragic events in Orlando, we say unequivocally: we stand with our LGBTQ brothers and sisters, and we will rededicate ourselves to ensuring their safety and equal rights in every community across our nation. We will defeat hate, and love will win.

Wasserman Schultz Statement on First Anniversary of Obergefell

 U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement on the first anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision:

“Today we celebrate one year of marriage equality as the law of the land – a long overdue step in our nation’s march toward equal treatment for all people. No matter a person’s sexual orientation, gender or gender identity, race, nationality or religion, love is love – and this historic ruling enshrined that principle into law.

“As Florida and our nation continue healing from the tragic events in Orlando, we say unequivocally: we stand with our LGBTQ brothers and sisters, and we will rededicate ourselves to ensuring their safety and equal rights in every community across our nation. We will defeat hate, and love will win.”
