Jim Obergefell helped make history as the lead plaintiff in the landmark marriage equality case that the Supreme Court ruled on today. In fighting for his marriage to his late husband to be recognized, Obergefell won a decisive victory for same-sex couples throughout the country. And while he was speaking to CNN outside the courthouse today, he got a very special congratulatory phone call — from President Obama himself.
