Newly sworn-in Attorney General Loretta Lynch has released a statement with regard to today's U.S. Supreme Court hearings on same-sex marriage.
Says Lynch in the statement provided to Towleroad:
“I am committed – as is this department – to ensuring equal dignity and equal treatment for all members of society, regardless of sexual orientation. As we argued today before the Supreme Court, same-sex couples deserve that treatment now.”
