“I woke up this morning, got ready to come over to the Capitol, and as I often do, I glanced over to pictures of my family. And I glanced to a picture of my nine-month-old grandson. Couldn’t be happier about the newest addition to my family. I couldn’t be prouder of the two people who brought him into the world: my daughter Corey and her wife , Hedya .
“When my daughter told me she wanted to get married, I told her what every good parent should tell her: that if this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, I couldn’t be happier for you .
“Shortly after that announcement, my daughter—when she told me she wanted to get married—they had some terrible news: her fiancée just found out she had breast cancer. So, with the decisions facing them, they decided to get married right away. Given all the complications that come with managing treatment, the decision to get married quickly was incredibly important.
“And as I stood at their wedding at a U.S. Court with a federal judge presiding over their union, I knew it was only made possible because of a recent Supreme Court decision. And today… that same court has opened the door to dismantling families like mine. Splitting this little guy’s family apart, potentially .
“We can’t let that happen. We’re talking about marriage. Two committed people, to make sure they have a secure family. And all we have to do is vote ‘yes.’ Don’t complicate the issue! It is that simple. I don’t speak about the religious beliefs of my colleagues, but I have to ask: What God would fault in this baby and his two mommies? There is nothing wrong with this. This is pure love. It’s what we all should aspire to. And with that, I encourage my colleagues to vote ‘yes’ so we are equal in all states.”
