The Ruth Institute files a Friend of the Court brief

The Ruth Institute and I, filed a Friend of the Court brief to the US Supreme Court for the upcoming marriage cases, called Obergefell v Hodges.
We are not hopeful of a good outcome in this decision. Nonetheless, we filed a brief for these reasons:
- To give the dissenters some ammunition.
- To go on the record, and speak to history.
- We didn't want anyone to say, "We had no idea these things might happen."
- To let children of future generations know that someone was thinking of them.
