Nearly six years ago the historic Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges – the Obergefell being Cincinnati's own Jim Obergefell – made marriage equality the law in all 50 states.
Obergefell and Cincinnati Civil Rights Attorney Al Gerhardstein, who represented Obergefell, are featured in an episode of the new Netflix documentary, Amend: The Fight for America.
Hosted by actor Will Smith, the series focuses on the 14th Amendment being the hallmark of democracy. On it, Obergefell and Gerhardstein tell the story of how Cincinnati went from being one of the most gay-hostile cities in America to one of the most inclusive. They also tell Obergefell's love story.
They told The Enquirer's That's So Cincinnati podcast this week, the fight for equality continues.
