Edie Windsor Takes Another Step To Knock Down Final Barriers To Marriage Equality

The American people have an opportunity to tell the Supreme Court that they support marriage equality before the court takes up a case this spring that could legalize same-sex marriage across the country.

Edie Windsor, the plaintiff in a 2013 Supreme Court case that forced the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages, was the first person to sign the “People’s Brief,” an amicus brief that is slated to be submitted to the Supreme Court in March. It chronicles the country’s sweeping change in attitudes toward gays and lesbians over the past decade, and is a joint effort between the Human Rights Campaign and Roberta Kaplan, Windsor’s lawyer.

The “People’s Brief” can be read in full here.
