Hillary Clinton at the end of what she described as "an emotional roller-coaster of a day," called on Republicans running for president to stop opposing the expansion of gay rights and move on to other issues. "Instead of trying to turn back the clock, they should be joining us in saying, 'No, no to discrimination once and for all,'" the Democratic presidential frontrunner said at an evening gathering of the Democratic Party of Virginia held in the Washington suburb of Fairfax. "I'm asking them, 'Please don't make the rights, the hopes of any American into a political football for this 2016 campaign.'"

"This morning, love triumphed in the highest court in our land," Clinton told the 2,000 people who streamed into a partitioned section of George Mason University's Patriot Center. "Equality triumphed. America triumphed."
