In 30 seconds: A symbol of love and of the national fight over same-sex marriage

Jim Obergefell’s husband, John Arthur, passed away in 2013 but Arthur's legacy lives on ― in court and on Jim’s ring finger.

Later this month, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on a case in which Obergefell is the lead plaintiff. The case, Obergefell v. Hodges, will likely decide whether same-sex marriage is legal throughout the country. It’s currently legal in 37 states.

“St. Louis on the Air” host Don Marsh talked with Obergefell and A.J. Bockelman of PROMO. The full interview will air on Thursday.

St. Louis on the Air discusses issues and concerns facing the St. Louis area. The show is produced by Mary Edwards and Alex Heuer and hosted by veteran journalist Don Marsh. Follow us on Twitter: @STLonAir.
