She was passionate and articulate, without appearing hysterical (and I did choose exactly that word on purpose). Thanks for sharing this, how inspirational! I would like to be her when I grow up.

(I will forgive the favorable reference to the slimebag philanderer Thomas Jefferson, whose definition of equality was limited to white property owning men, and whose violent subjugation of his female slaves is well documented, if not well known.) The bottom line: if you want someone to state your case, ask a woman from Queens. Just don't bother trying to edit her. An awesome speech that hit on all cylinders.

Even my conservative friends here in MA (where it IS legal, thank you very much) are confused about just how their marriage or their religion would be threatened by this. As someone put it years ago "afraid your husband will wake up one day and say 'Oh my god - I could have married a man!'?" Best of luck to all the states who have yet to give gay couples equal rights under the law. Thanks for this – how well put.
