Meet 28 LGBT Supporters Who Rallied at the Supreme Court

Aaron Rhodes and Raymond Braun

Rhodes, the social media personality who famously came out to his father in a YouTube video with his twin brother, showed up at the Supreme Court rally Tuesday morning “on behalf of all the young people” who are LGBT.

“I feel like there’s so many like older people that they’re always standing up for this,” he said, “and I think it’s important for us because some day we’re gonna get married too and I want to travel anywhere in the United States and love whoever I want to love.”

Rhodes’s friend Braun shared in those sentiments. He wants what everyone else in the crowd surely wants: a favorable ruling.

"I think that today is the day that that’s going to go down in history,” he said. “It’s going to be the type of day that we look back and tell our grandkids about, so I wanted to be a part of this historic moment and be able to say that I was on the steps of the Supreme Court on a day where, hopefully, they heard a case that changed civil rights in American history forever.”
