Dimon Joins Goldman Sachs Praising Court on Gay Marriage

JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. praised the U.S. Supreme Court after a ruling today that struck down a federal law that denies benefits to same-sex married couples.

“This is good for our company and clients, but more importantly, it’s the right thing to do,” JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said in a statement from the New York-based bank, the largest in the U.S. by assets. “The rights of all people are important and must be protected.”
