🏳️‍🌈 On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision made same-sex marriage legal nationwide, marking a historic moment for marriage equality.

This 2004 KPRC-TV news segment captures an earlier chapter in that fight in Texas, as couples like Tammi Wallace and Beth Tutor speak out against state laws that denied them the right to marry and join a protest at the Harris County Clerk’s Office.

Their words reflect both the frustration of being denied legal recognition and the determination of couples who helped push forward a landmark change in civil rights.
