I'm feeling proud of my home state today. Amidst the news coverage of its vote to allow same-sex couples to marry, I found this quote from marriage equality supporter, and Republican and Catholic State Rep. Maureen Walsh very moving:
Republican representative Maureen Walsh, whose daughter told her she was gay a few years ago, voted in favor of the bill on the basis of equality."Nothing's different," Walsh said. "She's still a fabulous human being. And some day, by God, I want to throw a wedding for that kid."
