Voice for Equality: Jerold Nadler

U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, hailed the ruling by the Supreme Court of Iowa to strike down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

“The Iowa Supreme Court’s unanimous decision that equal protection means that gay and lesbian couples must be allowed to marry in Iowa is a victory for liberty and equality,” said Rep. Nadler. “This is a resounding endorsement of core constitutional principles coming from the heartland of our nation and a mark of Iowa’s continued leadership and courage on critical civil rights issues. Just as Iowa led the nation in rejecting slavery, desegregating its schools, and opening doors for women in the workplace, Iowa has now taken its place as a leader in this fight for equality. I maintain my hope that the federal government, New York, and other states will follow its lead.”

Freedom to Marry congratulates the Congressman from NY for being a Voice for Equality.
