Quote of the Week:


“It’s a profoundly disappointing vote. It’s always wrong to put the rights of a minority up to a popular vote... It’s going to be wrenching and divisive, but it’s a fight the entire gay movement will take on... The Republicans use gay marriage as an issue to mobilize their base. But the reality is that marriage in Massachusetts hasn’t caused the sky to fall. The Red Sox even won the World Series since then.”


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