It is wonderful to see politicians from both sides of the party spectrum come together to support marriage equality.

As the discussion about the rights and morality of gay marriage have taken place over recent years, it is heartwarming to know that as people, we can evolve and be open to learning the merits about this debate.

I would like to thank all of these political representatives who have stepped up to make a stand for civil rights. In a time that has been so politically polarizing in the nation it is uplifting to see true leadership transcend the status quo.
