This is America where it's constitutionally guaranteed that everyone has the right to Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Happiness it doesn't include any exclusion clauses. It doesn't say (unless).

Definitely a big and historic leap forward for the LGBTQ community! This is a perfect example of how we can achieve equality and social justice by fighting and never giving up 🙌💯🌈🏳️‍🌈

Was about time, the US respect people

[poisontoad]

Disgraceful that in America decisions like this have to be made by the Supreme Court.

[evandegenfelder]

I miss Mayor Pete in our daily news. . .smart, articulate man.

[jannanijland]

Oh, imagine having Pete for president! What eloquence and integrity.

[LuckyLucky-xpsz]

So quick to protect other groups but can not work to protest black people

[franku.]

The land of the free because of the brave, like this guy Pete Buttigieg !!

[Maja-Danmark]

That man has a calming effect on my blood pressure.

Though the Supreme Court decision is a big deal, what's unfortunate is that it displays just how far behind the United States is that it is a decision just now occurring in 2020. The country that constantly claims to be number one in the world continues to display how far behind it is. It's a country that is not inclusive of all of its own citizens. The recent protests are attempting to bring attention to a considerable cross-section of Americans who feel living in the United States has continued to be what hurts them most. Claims of being the best should motivate an awareness and at the very least a willingness to then provide the best for its citizens, and that continues to be a discussion that should have taken place long ago.
Countries like Canada, a neighbour not that far away is far more progressive and has addressed protections and had them in
place decades ago. The Canadian Human Rights Act was amended to specifically include sexual orientation as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination in 1996, twenty-four years ago. Same-sex marriage in Canada was legally recognized with the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act in 2005, fifteen years ago. Canadians also enjoy healthcare, no matter their income level, all Canadians have access to healthcare at all times. In 1969, the Criminal Law Amendment Act legalized abortion, and it's not a continuing discussion threatening to take it away as a result of a new administration. Once it has become law it stays in place. Canadians don't have to sell their homes if they get sick when they need the comfort of their own home the most. They don't pay thousands to have a child, there are no extra fees and new parents get up to 18 months parental leave from their jobs with protections in place that guarantee them that job or its equivalent upon their return. The United States continues to appear as if it's attempting to go back in time.

I hope the black people also get their change equality

[paxundpeace]

What ever you think, Pete is a outspoken and a good man.

[ruig]

So another step forward under the Trump administration 🤷‍♂️ Why wasn’t this done when Obama was in office ?? Because he can give 2 shits about anyone but himself😂

[giuseppepandolfo]

Mayor Pete would have made a great president

[Hazetruck]

I will have to say Mr. Buttigieg. This is a step forward. There should be no discrimination against these people.

[redwoods]

Nice that the justices put the constitution first. Gives me hope.

[sbsb]

YOU FORGOT that Lindsey Graham is gay.

[humbledriver]

Mayor Pete definitely was an outstanding candidate for presidency and would have earned my vote

[mattfoley]

How do they separate the men from the boys in South Bend? With a crowbar.
