Its official: gay marriage is now a Constitutional right everywhere in America, thanks to the Supreme Courts landmark ruling in the Obergefell v. Hodges case on Friday. While there was a majority decision of 5-4, there is one justice who has stood out above the rest as a steadfast and fierce supporter of marriage equality, and you might know her as the Notorious RBG. Ruth Bader Ginsburgs support of gay marriage has been crucial, from her personal opinion of the American publics shifting attitude to Aprils oral arguments and, ultimately, the historical decision that says anyone in any state can marry the person they love. Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan joined Ginsburg in agreeing that gay couples should be free to marry in all 50 states.

Hillary supported and encouraged the President's the decision. Without Hillary's support and encouragement, we maybe waiting another 20 years for this historic decision.
