Be encouraged Quote by Barbara Brandriff Crabb
“This case is not about whether marriages between same-sex couples are consistent or inconsistent with the teachings of a particular religion, whether such marriages are moral or immoral or whether they are something that should be encouraged or discouraged… Quite simply, this case is about liberty and equality, the two cornerstones of the rights protected by the United States Constitution.”
