"Marriage is a basic human right. You cannot tell people they cannot fall in love. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. used to say when people talked about interracial marriage and I quote, "Races do not fall in love and get married. Individuals fall in love and get married.'" ~ Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), in an address to the U.S. House of Representatives regarding the "Defense of Marriage Act," July 11, 1996
