Quote of the Month:
“I do think the momentum will continue. I have no doubt that over time, more states will join in marriage equality. . . There are simply more and more people across the country who know same-sex couples who are married, their kids go to school together, and life continues on.”
— Rea Carey, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
