Rep. Niki Tsongas Stands Up For Gay Marriage

Published November 15, 2008 @ 06:07PM PT

So here's the first of a few YouTube clips from today's "Join the Impact" rally in Boston, MA, to stand up for the rights of all people to get married. This 60-second clip shows U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Mass), coming out and saying that we all have to stand in solidarity if we want to see marriage equality spread to California and beyond. Great words, Niki. She even throws in a push for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and how historic it was to have that bill pass the U.S. House last year.
