The U.S. Supreme Court ruled June 26 in a historic decision that strikes down state-level bans on same-sex marriages and requires that all 50 states issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. In a video from Ben & Jerry's, the first same-sex couple to be married in Alabama, Tori Sisson and Shanté Wolfe-Sisson talk about the struggle for LGBT people and the continued fight against discrimination.
"Our work is done when I can walk down the street, be it gay, or Black, or woman, and not have any type of harassment towards me," Wolfe-Sisson says.
ATTN: recently also made a video about the respectable compensation that Ben & Jerry's employees receive compared to many other restaurant chains.
