After the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in the landmark marriage equality case, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) and the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus hosted a reception honoring Michigan couple April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse. April and Jayne are plaintiffs in DeBoer vs. Snyder, part of the consolidated marriage case heard before the Supreme Court. “April and Jayne are devoted partners and loving, caring parents who want to be able to protect their children and have their love for each other recognized by the law.” said Dingell. “It was an honor to introduce these amazing women to my colleagues today; they reminded us that love can’t wait, and I am confident that because of April and Jayne’s courage and willingness to stand up for what is right, all families are closer to receiving the equal justice they deserve.” Attached, please find photos of April and Jayne with Congresswoman Dingell, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD-5), and Congressman Sander Levin (MI-9). |
