NEW ORLEANS – Today, Mayor Mitch Landrieu issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which stated that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage:
“As the mayor of a city that has long embraced the principles of inclusion, tolerance and diversity, I am more than pleased to see the Supreme Court and the United States embrace these same principles. Today, our great country takes another step toward becoming a more perfect union, but more work is needed to end discrimination in all forms and make our country a fairer and more just place to live for every American.”
