"I signed a bill saying that every hospital must treat gay and lesbian partners the same as heterosexual partners, because NO ONE should have to produce a legal contract to be able to hold the hand of the one they love"

"It happens when a father realizes he doesn’t just love his daughter, but also her wife. It happens when a soldier tells his unit that he’s gay, and they tell him they knew it all along and they didn’t care, because he was the toughest guy in the unit. It happens when a video sparks a movement to let every single young person know they’re not alone, and things will get better. It happens when people look past their ultimately minor differences to see themselves in the hopes and struggles of their fellow human beings. That’s where change is happening."

Anonymous asked: Over the summer, I was visting some family. My siblings, cousin and I were playing the game Life. When we got to the wedding square-thing, my cousin who's never seemed to be particularly gay-friendly, says "If you wanna pick a girl peg, that's cool too." It was adorable, if somewhat suprising.
