In
response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Arkansas
Supreme Court’s decision in Pavan v. Smith, thereby guaranteeing the
right of same-sex parents to have the names of both parents
on their children’s birth certificates and today’s announcement that
the court will hear the discrimination case Masterpiece Cakeshop Ltd. v.
Colorado Civil Rights, DNC spokesperson Joel Kasnetz released the
following statement:
“It’s
fitting that, on the two-year anniversary of the nation-wide marriage
equality decision, love won again today. Marriage equality and its
protections are the law of the land and today’s ruling
affirmed the strength of loving families with same-sex parents.
