Holder: LGBT Issues ‘Civil Rights Issue of Our Time’; ‘Hopefully’ SCOTUS Agrees

“Civil rights, the LGBT community is something that I’ve tried to focus on. I think that is the civil rights issue of our time. This whole question of same-sex marriage which will be resolved by the court over the next I guess couple of months or so, hopefully that decision will go in a way I think is consistent with who we say we are as a people. But I also think that is really just a sign, it’s an indication, it is one part of the fight for overall LGBT equality. And I think that the work you all have done in that regard is going to be an integral part of the legacy of this department.”
