Our voices are hoarse from cheering and our feet are tired from marching, but our hearts are full and we’re ready for what comes next. There’s no time to waste! June’s Supreme Court marriage victory off ered soaring language about equality, dignity and our common humanity. The fact that same-sex couples now know they have a constitutional right to marry anywhere in our country and to have their marriages fully recognized brings enormous concrete and symbolic benefits. It’s huge, and it affects so many of us, whether we choose to marry or not. But it is far from the end of the story.

Was it only in October that the Supreme Court allowed four appeals court victories to stand and then marriage became legal in 17 new states, bringing the total to 36? Since our last issue of Impact magazine, Lambda Legal attorneys and other staff worked day and night to secure marriage equality in Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina and West Virginia, and Puerto Rico.

Workplace discrimination is a critical issue for our community. From the thousands of calls for help we receive at Lambda Legal each year, we know that employment problems are among the most frequent faced by LGBT and HIV-positive people. This issue puts a spotlight on workplace rights news, including information about our new online guide, Know Your Rights At Work, our campaign to strengthen ENDA's protections, and President Obama's executive order.

The year 2013 brought us many stunning events in the march toward marriage equality. After the excitement of the Supreme Court decisions last June, there were victories in New Jersey, Illinois and Hawai‘i—Lambda Legal fought long, punishing battles in all three states—and a holiday-season win in New Mexico. Then Utah became the next frontier for marriage equality.

Happy Pride! Every summer since the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, we celebrate our community, our pride and our commitment to equality. Lately, we also celebrate how much the world has changed—because of our pride and our work together for all these years.
