This decision is going to go down as one of the great civil rights decisions by the United States Supreme Court, and today we are a step closer to the American ideal of justice for all than we were yesterday, and that’s something that our country can be very proud of. I want to point out that this is a tremendous step forward, but it’s not the end of the journey. People can still be fired for their sexual orientation, newly married couples, gay couples, can be denied housing. And, as the sponsor of the Missouri Non-Discrimination Act for the last seven years, we are incredibly happy with today’s victory, but we are not satisfied until complete legal equality has been achieved in the state of Missouri.”
