Rep. Maureen Walsh’s Touching Remarks on the Washington State Same-Sex Marriage Debate

Representative Maureen Walsh, a Republican, was one of only two from her party to vote in favour of marriage equality. In the video above, she gives her statement on the state’s marriage equality bill, ESSB 6239, and it’s wonderful, funny, touching and at times heartbreaking.

  • She's amazing, and not just b/c she's a fair minded Republican. I wish everyone could take a step back and reflect upon gay marriage as a whole instead of looking at it like it will affect their families, their homes, their thoughts, and morals and look at it for what it is; an equal right that should be afforded to everyone b/c love has no boundaries.

  • I have never voted Republican in my life but I would vote for this woman. Our Washington Congress could certainly learn a lot from her.
