This truly seemed an impossible dream when we launched PRS in the early 1980s. At that time, living a closeted life was still the stark reality for many if not most  people in the LGBT community.

Over the last few days since the Supreme Court decision, I’ve thought so much about the women we have assisted over the years to build families of their own. It is moving to imagine long-delayed weddings taking place all over the country, with the kids in tow. Some will be too young to know what’s happening but others will know well just how much this means to their moms and to them.

Many outstanding organizations – and a nationwide army of volunteers – played a pivotal role in bringing us to this amazing point. I would particularly like to recognize the impressive National Center for Lesbian Rights (nclrights.org). In 2013, NCLR  filed a lawsuit on behalf of three  same-sex couples, who moved to Tennessee for work and decided to challenge the state’s  laws prevent ing recognition of their marriages.   It would prove to be one of the most important lawsuits considered by the justices in bringing legal recognition to gay marriages throughout the country.

It’s a new day – beyond wonderful.
