For any GLBT kid in NC who was feeling scared or less than yesterday, I think and hope it was short lived. Thanks Mr. President.
Jane Lynch (@janemarielynch)
Pretty darn happy today. Thanks Mr President, for supporting the dignity of my family and so many others!

And there it is! You make a choice. I vote freedom. RT@thedailybeast: Romney: I Don’t Support Gay Marriagehttp://thebea.st/JfGhmR #cheatsheet
Nancy Lee Grahn (@NancyLeeGrahn)
good news today. Emmy nom yes, but my President said Gay marriage should be legal. This is a good day for open minded, fair thinking, rational people. Not a good day for social conservatives.
