My mother has often said that the issue of women is the unfinished business of the 21st century. That is certainly true. But so, too, are the issues of LGBT rights the unfinished business of the 21st century.

When I first held my daughter, right after she was born, I felt like it was the moment I'd been waiting my whole life for, and it just felt even more miraculous than I ever could have imagined.

I hope to make a positive, productive contribution, as cheesy as that may sound.

Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.

I think we need to care about the metrics of success in life, and I'm a pretty competitive person.

My most important identity now is as a mother.
