Marriage Equality Can't Wait

Heart-breaking video from the Liberty Education Forum shares the story of David, who lost Mike — his partner of more than 40 years — to cancer earlier this year.

The couple married in the hospital room shortly before Mike’s death, a union not legally recognized in their home state of Ohio.

David explains that if he could speak to the Supreme Court, he would: “…ask one favor of them, and that’s to allow me to be on [Mike’s] death certificate as his spouse or husband. I would bend a knee to them and, seriously, say make an exception: Let it be that we are together on that death certificate.”

While many argue that state-by-state rulings on marriage are sufficient, David’s story is a painful reminder that nationwide marriage equality can’t wait.
