This is the woman who helped make Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriage. Talk about someone who understands the essence of marriage equality, the retiring Massachusetts Chief Justice Margaret Marshall stated, "Recognizing the right of an individual to marry a person of the same sex will not diminish the validity or dignity of opposite-sex marriage…If anything…that same-sex couples are willing to embrace marriage's solemn obligations of exclusivity, mutual support, and commitment to one another is a testament to the enduring place of marriage in our laws and in the human spirit."
A brilliant statement from a brilliant woman. Why can't everyone think this way?
