I've been married twice. The first time I was very young and closeted in part because of all the homophobia and bigotry and stuff like that.

This is Jackie Fulton, a producer here at Civics 101. And this is Fendell Fulton.

I'm Fendell. I am Jackie's other half.

Jackie and Fendell got married at O'Dyorn Point in November of 2018.

I remember when I went with my ex-now ex-husband and we're doing the paperwork and stuff,

and it asked if we were cousins or if we were blood-related.

I thought that was kind of funny.

But it was like super easy to fill out, you know, no problem.

And so whenever Fendell and I went to do the paperwork, it asked who is person A and who is person B.

And I was like, well, how do we know?

Like, I'm like, I guess Fendell could be person eight because they're older than I am.

Yeah, I took the A role.

Jackie took the B role, but that's not indicative of our actual roles in life.

You're listening to Civics 101.

I'm Nick Capadice.

And I'm Jackie Fulton.

Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015.

A Supreme Court ruling announced minutes ago extends same-sex marriage in America.

The justices rule five to four that states do not.
