We are delighted with today’s State Supreme Court ruling allowing marriage equality in California. It is a true testament to advancing equality and to recognizing the right of all Californians to build a future with the person they love. We recently lost Mildred Loving, the woman whose marriage to a man of another race ushered in the Supreme Court ruling that made marriage colorblind. Today’s ruling is another important reminder that love will overcome.

I think that women are much more collaborative; men are much more competitive.

The idea of having new perspectives on our planet, and actually being able to get that message out, gets me out of bed every day with a spring in my step.

You know, I was a community activist, so I'm used to standing out in front of an elected official's office and protesting.

I have been a lifelong community activist and frankly did not dream of being in public office.
