Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D)
“Dr. Martin Luther King said, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ Today’s Supreme Court decision striking down DOMA makes true those words, and I am overjoyed for countless gay and lesbian couples whose love and commitment will no longer be classified as unequal to that of their straight counterparts. I am also overjoyed for all Americans who now live in a country that is more free and equal than ever before — for truly, the meaning of American citizenship as a whole was elevated today.”
