Nine years ago, on a hot June day, a decision at the U.S. Supreme Court changed everything for same-sex couples in the U.S. In a 5-4 split decision in the case Obergefell v. Hodges, the justices ruled that same-sex couples had the right to marry. As part of our Summer of Love series, we wanted to look at how that decision came about but also why, our next guest says, legalizing same-sex marriage has been and is good for straight people and for the country as well. His name is Jonathan Rauch. He is a writer and a journalist who was a leading advocate for same-sex marriage, and he's with us now. Jonathan Rauch, welcome. Thank you for joining us.
