Clinton will be honoring Windsor and Kaplan at the first Logo TV’s first Trailblazers television special airing June 26 honoring pioneers in the LGBT civil rights movement, according to NewNowNext. Clinton, who originally signed DOMA into law, is enthusiastic about honoring the two women for their tireless fight that impacted and will continue to impact millions of Americans.

“Seventeen years after signing DOMA into law, I was honored and grateful to be among the voices urging that it be overturned,” said Clinton in a statement. “The decision would not have happened without Edie Windsor’s dogged determination to right a wrong and Roberta Kaplan’s equal commitment to simple fairness. As marriage equality spreads across the states, the number of people impacted by these two amazing women will only continue to grow.”
