Speech by Republican Maureen Walsh (WA State) about LGBT marriage equality. This speech is one-year old but it is absolutely INSPIRING, especially as we head into finding out the results of Prop 8 from the Supreme Court sometime this month.
With succinctness and clarity, she (a heterosexual mother of three) nails some of the most important reasons why marriage matters, why our minority should not be made to feel like second-class citizens, why this is in fact a civil rights issue.
Enjoy! It's worth the few minutes to click the link!
