Two steps back. It is through those setbacks that our greatest movements and our fiercest fighters have emerged. From the civil rights movements to black lives matter. From womens suffrage, to the womens march and two farmworkers who organized, to her immigrants who dare to dream. And in this movement, the lgbtq equality movement, like so many others, is forged from a fire. It was harassment by police that people to fight back at stonewall, sparking a nationwide movement. It was the governments murderous actions to the thousands of lives lost to aids that led thousands more to believe silence equals death and awakens the world. It was an 83yearold widow from new york that take it to the highest court of the land and win. And it was the cruelty of ohios leaders that made the world know the name over to felt. Is during these moments of great struggles and strife that we rise. It is through our resistance to tyrants and our persistence towards justice that we change the course of history.
We fought. We took our case all the way to the highest court in the land, and as you have heard, on june 20 8, 2013, i was honored to again stand at San Francisco women andwith two pronounce them spouses for life.

But we have never been one to throw up our hands when it is time. Let us rededicate ourselves to each other and to our country, and lets continue to work and fight. Thank you. [cheers and applause] good evening. Back when we were just an online bookstore. And joinedon in 2001 the public sector, and in 2012, worked with hrc Board Members on rep 74, the successful Marriage Equality campaign in washington state
