Quote of the Week:


“This really isn’t a gay issue, it's an American family issue. Yes, we deserve marriage equality for hundreds if not thousands of reasons, but we also at the same time can be working to protect other forms of family relationships. It's not an either/or situation and it never has been.”


Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
