I’m so stoked. It’s like I woke up and it’s Christmas… It’s something I’ve been passionate about a long time. Even though it doesn’t affect me directly, it affects a lot of my friends. It affects my family. It affects Ravens fans. It affects Marylanders. I’ve worked very hard on it; I’m especially proud of the Marylanders who went out and voted and made a difference.
The majority of the people got it right. Who cares what they think in the locker room? Who cares what they think anywhere? The people decided. People have to take heed and listen to what people are crying for and what they are wanting. The majority of people voted it in.
It’s a done deal and we did the right thing. It took too long. It shouldn’t have been up to other people to decide other people’s fate as far as who they can marry. But we’re progressing, so I’m happy about that.

I wonder how much support from athletes like Brendon and Chris influenced the vote? I was pleased with their efforts but always slightly skeptical as to what influence their support would have but I’m thinking that I might have been very wrong.

Many many thanks to these great athletes who have taken a stand for right thinking and support for the GLB community! There is no doubt that they had a hug impact on the outcome of the election! Congrats, guys and President Obama on down the Democratic line.
