a colorful White House backdrop, (L) Kevin Barragan and his partner
Adam Smith celebrate as do Kelly Miller (with glasses) and her wife
Lindsey Miller. The Millers were married two years ago in Washington
state where gay marriage is legal. The White House was lit in
multi-colored lights to honor the Supreme Court decision to allow gay
marriage, on June 26, 2015. (Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post)
For Obama. seeing the White House illuminated in rainbow colors Friday night "was a moment worth savoring."
Speaking
at a joint news conference Tuesday with Brazilian President Dilma
Rousseff, Obama made a point of saying just before leaving that one of
the best aspects of last week was viewing the crowds who had gathered in
front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to celebrate the symbol of gay pride
on full display.
