"I believe that one of government's most important responsibilities is to fulfill the promise of fairness, equality and opportunity for the people we serve. When I became governor of New York in 2011, I vowed to uphold that legacy — and the passage of marriage equality that year is still one of my proudest moments. I watched as other states followed our lead, and the message gathered steam until the Supreme Court joined us on the right side of history and ruled last June that marriage for all Americans, including same-sex couples, is a constitutional right."
