Ruth Bader Ginsburg will become the first Supreme Court justice to officiate a same-sex wedding today, August 31, when she weds Kennedy Center President Michael M. Kaiser and economist John Roberts at the arts center in Washington, D.C.
"I think it will be one more statement that people who love each other and want to live together should be able to enjoy the blessings and the strife in the marriage relationship," Ginsburg told the Post. "It won't be long before there will be another," she added, confirming that she will be officiating another same-sex marriage in September.
Kaiser said: "I can't imagine someone I'd rather be married by."
Read the original report in The Washington Post.
According to the Post, Ginsburg and Kaiser are close friends, and Ginsburg is a steadfast supporter of the arts. Ginsburg voted in the majority earlier this summer in the Supreme Court's landmark decisions on gay marriage and gay rights.
Roberts works for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is not related to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.
Expected to be in attendance at tonight's celebration are opera star Renee Fleming, Broadway's Ron Raines and Barbara Cook and more.
