 An incredible day, an incredible day of celebration for LGBT people all over this country. Two major decisions put giant cracks in the dark wall of discrimination. This is the culmination of what we hope we'll accomplish to have the court really begin to fulfill the promise of this man that we are going to give true equality to everyone in this country. And thank you to Justice that was served today in this court. This is the Supreme Court of the United States vindicating your right to decency, respect, and equality. It's a great day for us, it's a great day for California, and it's a great day for our country. You know, we're all going to take today to really enjoy this decision and celebrate the resumption of marriages in California. Congratulations, thank you very much. What we've been hoping for all along is that this day would come that we would be able to go back to California and get married right away. Now we will be married and we will be equal. The President's on the line from Air Force One. Thank you Mr. President. Thank you. The President just called from Air Force One and he said because of their courage, thousands upon thousands of people will be able to join in the celebration of marriage very soon. It's not vague as that any proposition that prohibits the rights of other people is unconstitutional. So today is a good day. It's the day I finally get to look at the man that I love and finally say, will you please marry me? So what's next? We're getting married. That's what's next. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just cleared the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California. Congratulations. Getting lesbian couples in California will now be able to get married. Yes, right now. No 25-day wait. No more questions about how and when. Here we are. We are standing in L.A. City Hall about to get married by the mayor. This is happening. Crazy, right? Really happening. And we'll go into the wedding vows. Gathered here today for the purpose of uniting the matrimonies. But guess what? We'll be together very soon and we'll just have the best celebration ever. Many clerks in California will be working overtime this weekend. This is what it's all about. This is what it's all about. It's very real. We're getting married in our home state of California and it's very real that we're going to have access to the same federal benefits that everybody else does. We can't deny people their dignity. Right now it is about 453. It's a live picture you're looking at of the first gay marriage since the Supreme Court ruling allowing it to resume. This is a special moment. Do you, Chris, take Sandy to be your lawfully wedded wife? I do. Jeff, you take Paul to be your lawfully wedded wife. I do. And do you, Sandy, take Chris to be your lawfully wedded wife to love and cherish from this day forward? I do. By virtue of the power and authority vested in me. What happened in the state of California? I now declare you spouses for life. Let me pronounce you married. First day of the rest of our lives together. It's unbelievable. It's been a four and a half year battle against Proposition 8. People feel good. This is Paul Katame. He's my husband. Now we're going to say hello to the hundreds of couples that are gathering behind us to enjoy this same ride. Congress has returned to the great state of California. And no one can take that away.
