Bill Clinton Honoring Edie Windsor, Roberta Kaplan At Logo's Trailblazers

President Bill Clinton will honor Edie Windsor and Roberta Kaplan at Logo's Trailblazers special on June 26, the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court declaring the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.

"Seventeen years after signing DOMA into law, I was honored and grateful to be among the voices urging that it be overturned," said Clinton in a statement. "The decision would not have happened without Edie Windsor's dogged determination to right a wrong and Roberta Kaplan's equal commitment to simple fairness. As marriage equality spreads across the states, the number of people impacted by these two amazing women will only continue to grow."
