And before it was signed Biden said “The road to this moment has been long, but those who believe in equality and justice, you never gave up,”
He added: “This law and the love it defends strikes a blow against hate in all its forms.”
“The road to this moment has been long, but those who believe in equality and justice, you never gave up,” Biden said. “So many of you put your relationships on the line, your jobs on the line, your lives on the line, to fight for the law I’m about to sign. For me and the entire nation: thank you, thank you, thank you.”
And there are a lot who are thankful for this to happen.
