As the plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges, Jim Obergefell sought to honor the memory of his late husband. The result was a sweeping Supreme Court decision that made marriage equality law. Today, he continues his advocacy and is running for the Ohio House of Representatives. Obergefell talks to Inman about housing, advocacy and why a safe place to live is critical for LGBTQ+ people of all ages, especially now.
