Heather and I decided we were going to be pretty low-key at the convention.

It won't take 40 years for opposition to same-sex marriage to dissipate.

I always knew that there was something that made me different, and by the time I was in high school, I understood what it was.

I'm probably a little more like my dad. But because of my mom, I never saw being a woman as being an impediment to being able to do something. She had her Ph.D. before I was born.

It wasn't a secret that I was gay. I'd come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car.

I'd rather not be known as the Vice President's lesbian daughter.

For the record, I love my sister. But she is dead wrong on the marriage issue.
