The energy and noise levels at the Capitol were incredible today! The House of Representatives took up House File 1054, the Marriage Equality Bill, this afternoon and the Capital was packed with people on both sides of the issue. The author, Karen Clark led off with her history on this issue and summarized what the legislation is designed to do. Two amendments were quickly added to provide clarification. Over thirty members stood to explain the basis for their upcoming vote. The comments were extremely moving and very respectful. I am extremely proud of the way the House members handled this very sensitive topic. This is a huge step forward for justice and equality.
