## Transcript

Last June, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision, the United States versus Windsor. holding that Americans in same sex marriages are entitled equal protection and equal treatment under the law. This ruling marked a historic step towards equality for all American families. And since the day it was handed down, the Department of Justice has been working tirelessly to implement it in both weather and in spirit, moving to extend federal benefits to married same sex couples as swiftly and smoothly as possible. Recently, an administrative staff by the court has cast doubt on same sex marriages that have been performed in the state of Utah, and the governor has announced the state will not recognize these marriages, pending additional court action.

In the meantime, I am confirming today that for purposes of federal law, these marriages will be recognized as lawful and considered eligible for all relevant federal benefits on the same terms as other same sex marriages. These families should not be asked to endure uncertainty regarding their status as the litigation unfolds. Days ahead, we will continue to coordinate across the federal government to ensure the tiny provision of every federal benefit to its Utah couples and couples throughout the country who are entitled, regardless of whether they are in same sex or opposite sex marriages, and we will continue to provide additional information as soon as it becomes available.
