Today, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) released this statement on the Supreme Court decision on marriage equality:

"Today's historic Supreme Court ruling means all Americans -- regardless of their gender or gender identity -- have the right to marry the person they love," Johnson said. "It also reaffirms equal protection under the law in accordance with the Fourteenth Amendment. We are all more free when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love."

In March, Congressman Johnson signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of marriage equality in the Obergefell case.
