Nontheists Applaud Supreme Court Decisions on DOMA, Prop 8

Executive Director, Edwina Rogers, said the Coalition celebrates the Court's decision on DOMA, noting that the U.S. Constitution extends "equal protection of the law" to all citizens. "Efforts to restrict same-sex couples from access to civil marriage are blatant attempts to insert religious beliefs into our secular government," Rogers said. "We applaud the Court’s decision on DOMA and Proposition 8, but we recognize there is still a lot of work to be done throughout the country in ensuring that marriage equality is the rule for all."
