Our government treats the LGBT community like second-class citizens.

I rely on some words that actually my husband said to me. He jokes about saying, "You know it's only darkest before it's totally black!" Even in my darkest hour - and my darkest hour was probably when I lost both my parents - I look to him and I see what he has endured, what he has overcome, what he is doing with his life, and just how he's lived his life.

Our government treats the LGBT community like second-class citizens.

I have very distinct things that I like. I have very distinct opinions. Just because I choose to be a little less overt out on the campaign [trail] doesn't mean I'm anything less than very opinionated and very intelligent.

I fully support the NOH8 campaign and all it stands for and am proud to be a part of it. But I stand by my husband's stance on DADT.

I think Americans are good-hearted, open-minded people and race doesn't enter into this - at all.

I did learn a great deal about my husband but I also learned something about myself: I made a wise choice. I think he's a good man.
