Hillary Clinton also offered her condolences on Windsor's passing.
Edith Windsor, an activist who paved the way for marriage equality, has died at the age of 88.
The 88-year-old was a marriage equality pioneer.
It’s two years since the U.S. Supreme Court returned its landmark decision in Obergefell V. Hodges, holding that it’s unconstitutional to deny same-sex couples the right to marry.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Roberta Kaplan says her journey to the Supreme Court with Edie Windsor was surprisingly spiritual.
There were many milestones in the march to marriage equality, but Kaplan has the right to crow about this one: she picked the right client, litigated the hell out of the case and established the precedent on which dozens of courts relied over the next two years in striking down marriage discrimination.
"Telling our stories as families helped other people see us as something other than that party-boy stereotype."
