Story

Metropolitan King County Council Vice Chair Jane Hague released this statement upon the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality:

“Today is a good day for all Americans!  Clearly, as a nation, we have moved beyond this as a partisan issue. This is about celebrating the love of two people, wherever they live in this country.

Civil rights, and gay rights in particular, are an important part of what makes the United States great -- what makes it a place where people want to come and live from all over the world.

In recognition of this momentous day, I joined Executive Constantine, Council Chair Larry Phillips, Councilmember Dave Upthegrove, King County Sheriff John Urquhart, and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, to raise the Pride Flag over King County, reminding all of us that love wins.”
