In this scene from Monday night’s Inaugural Ball, President Barack Obama bows as he and first lady Michelle Obama, wearing a ruby colored chiffon and velvet Jason Wu gown, gets ready to dance as singer Jennifer Hudson, right, sings Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together.”
On Monday, Obama became the first American president to include his support for marriage equality as part of his inaugural address, and said the nation’s journey is not complete “until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law, for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.”
