From Jeffrey Richardson, Gertrude Stein Club President:
"The board and members of the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club celebrates the DC Court of Appeals decision. The courts decision affirms our stance that the rights of a minority should never be subject to a vote of the majority and that the DC City Council was within its power to utilize the legislative vehicle of the human rights act to ensure that this core value was made law."
Michael Mitchell, National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director, highlighted the smart and effective work of the Stein Club:
"The Gertrude Stein Democratic Club was instrumental in achieving marriage in the District of Columbia through good, old-fashioned organizing and telling their stories to their friends, families and neighbors. We are thrilled -- and relieved -- that gay and lesbian couples in the District can continue to plan and enter into their marriages, just like their non-gay friends, without the threat of a public referendum on their relationships hanging over their heads."
