I strongly support marriage equality and believe that everyone should have the right to choose who they spend their lives with. I also support overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, which currently prohibits the rights enjoyed by
Massachusetts citizens from being recognized outside of the state. Finally, much like Senator Kennedy, I abhor discrimination of any kind. I am a vigorous supporter of the Matthew Shepard Act.
