5 reactions to Biden signing gay marriage bill: ‘Landmark moment’ or ‘dark day’?
Human Rights Campaign
Prominent LGBT advocacy organization, the Human Rights Campaign, considered the bill's passage the most significant legislative victory since "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed in 2010.
HRC President Kelley Robinson said in a statement that the signing marks "a historic day and a much-needed victory for our community."
"In signing this bill, President Biden has shown that LGBTQ+ peoples' lives and love are valid and supported," stated Robinson.
"As a queer, married woman, this moment holds personal significance, and I will hold my wife and our son a little tighter tonight, alongside the 568,000 other same-sex married couples."
