1. Impossible. The Republicans have said clearly that THEY are LGBT peoples' best friends.

And nobody would lie about that for political coin.

People. She was our senator and has been marching since 2000

16. But not as much here in Seattle

Also, she was against gay marriage in 2000. That was what I meant by the late comment.

Over anyone else
