Watch the full interview with Marc Solomon on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/jydMc. On Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, "There's two kinds of marriage, there's full marriage and then there's sort of skim milk marriage." We ask Marc Solomon of the group, Freedom to Marry, to respond. Solomon attended the Supreme Court hearings.

MARC SOLOMON: Yeah, I actually—when I was getting my bagel and coffee this morning, I asked for whole milk, so—for the first time in a long time. I think, you know, what she was talking about is that in America we don't have second-class citizens, nor should we have second-class marriages. And that's exactly what the so-called Defense of Marriage Act does.
