Friday’s Supreme Court decision making gay marriage a legal right in the United States is the culmination of work by many activists in the gay and lesbian community.

One of those unlikely activists is Edith Windsor, a feisty and loving former computer programmer who lived an ordinary and happy life, but whose legal battle for spousal rights led to the first high court victory for gay marriage in 2013. After Windsor’s spouse Thea Spyer died in 2009, leaving Windsor her entire estate, Windsor fought for the spousal exemption to the estate tax that gay couples were denied under the Defense of Marriage Act. After hearing Windsor’s case, on June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court found DOMA unconstitutional, thus ending the federal ban on gay marriage. “I’m thrilled. I’m absolutely thrilled,” Windsor said of today’s legalization of gay marriage across the country. “It really is the beginning of the ending of stigma. It is the beginning of teenagers who fall in love with a person knowing that they can marry—that they have futures. It is the beginning of kids not having to apologize to their families anymore because they can marry just like anybody else." "I thank Supreme Court for once again proving to me that the constitution of this country does matter and that justice will prevail." Read her full story on time.com. (Photo by Edith Windsor).
