STATEMENT: Auditor General DePasquale Cheers U.S. Supreme Court Decision Overturning Defense of Marriage Act
HARRISBURG (June 26, 2013) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale issued the following statement on today's U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Defense of Marriage Act:
"Today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act is a huge win for all of us who strongly believe in human rights for all. I hope this decision will spur Pennsylvania to adopt laws that will permit all citizens of this Commonwealth the right to marry the person they love, regardless of gender.
“Our nation's history has proven that when rights are expanded for some the nation is strengthened for everyone.”
