USA Today
September 16, 2008

EDITORIAL: Marriage goes beyond the ballot
The Boston Globe
November 9, 2006

"What Americans see increasingly is there's no negative impact on their own lives to have gays and lesbians living out in the open," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign. "They go from an abstract idea to a real person with a real name and a real story. That makes all the difference." [Link]
