Washington - US President Barack Obama hailed
the Supreme Court ruling in favor of gay marriage
Friday, saying it shows social changes once
thought impossible can become reality.
"Today we can say in no uncertain terms that
we've made our union a little more perfect,"
Obama said in a White House address shortly after
the court issued its decision.

"It's a victory for the allies and friends and
supporters who spent years, even decades working
and praying for change to come. And this ruling is
a victory for America."
The Supreme Court ruling that the constitution
protects the right of all Americans in all states to
form same-sex marriages was a victory for gay
rights campaigners.
But it will also be seen as a success for Obama,
whose own position shifted between his first
presidential campaign and his second, and who
now supports marriage equality.
"This ruling is a victory for Jim Obergefell and the
other plaintiffs in this case," Obama said, referring
to one of the people who brought the case all the
way to the high court.
"It's a victory for gay and lesbian couples who
fought so long for their basic civil rights. It's a
victory for their children whose families will now
be recognized as equal to any other," he said.
"This decision affirms what millions of Americans
already believe in their hearts, when all Americans
are treated as equal, we are all more free."
But he also asked Americans to be "mindful" of
those who do not approve of gay marriage.
"I know that Americans of goodwill continue to
hold a wide range of views on this issue.
Opposition in some cases has been based on
sincere and deeply held beliefs. All of us who
welcome today's news should be mindful of that
fact," he said.
