Ten years ago today, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled 4-3 that gay couples had the constitutional right to marry, making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriage.

The lead plaintiffs in the case that bears their name — Hillary Smith Goodridge and Julie Wendrich Goodridge -- joined WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss the landmark ruling and the years since.

This program aired on November 18, 2013.
