On Nov. 7, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court declined a request to hear a challenge to marriage equality.
PFLAG National CEO Brian K. Bond (he/him), made the following statement:
“Today the U.S. Supreme Court did the right thing by dismissing a case questioning settled law that ensures the freedom to marry extends to same-sex couples and interracial couples.
The freedom to say ‘I do’ is more than just love and commitment. It’s also about the right to visit your spouse in the hospital or to make medical decisions. It’s about both parents having legal rights to raise their children. It’s about having access to financial benefits for buying a house or car. The law now needs to catch up so that disabled couples have the freedom to marry without that they may lose access to critical benefits—because love and liberty are inseparable.
Today millions of LGBTQ+ and interracial couples can breathe as their marriages remain protected by law. However, LGBTQ+ rights remain under attack on a number of fronts. The chapters, members, and supporters of PFLAG remain unwavering in their commitment to ensuring that every LGBTQ+ person is safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved and that their civil rights are protected by law at every level—local, regional, state, and federal.”
