As the nation awaits a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding a Mississippi law that calls for banning abortion after 15 weeks, LGBTQ advocates are pushing to codify protections for same-sex marriage in states throughout the country. “We need states across this country to say we see you, you exist. You deserve respect. You deserve protections, because your relationship is no different than any other,” said Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark 2015 case who is now running for the statehouse in Ohio.
