Other hero. We must be the heroes of our generation because we too are america. Our vote can be our voice. Good evening. Joe biden lived a life of service and office and in uniform. He would you put your life on the line for this country do it not because of the country you live in but because of the country you believe in. I believe in this country because america uniquely holds the promise of the place where everyone can belong. They know that for too many and for too long that promise has been denied but wewe also know america is at its best when we make that circle of belonging wider.

The very ring on my finger a wedding we celebrated where im standing reflects how this country love makes my marriage real.

We also know america is at its best when we make that circle of belonging later. Wider. I joined a military where firing me because of who i am was not just possible, it was policy. In 2020, it is unlawful in america to fire someone because of who they are. The very ring on my finger, a wedding we celebrated here where i am standing reflects how this country can change. Love makes my marriage real. Political courage made it possible. Including that of joe biden who stepped out ahead even of this party when he said Marriage Equality should be the law of the land. There was a long way to go. If this much can change between 2010 and 2020, imagine what could change between now and 2030.
