“…For those who saw the signs of hatred, as our cars drove in tonight, I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban on gay marriage to sit and reflect, and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone."
