went out of the closets and into the streets. But today gaze went out of the streets and into the capitol to lobby for specific gay rights legislation and the former corporation I work with uh, failed to give me the promotions. I felt I was entitled to

00:00:16.870 - 00:00:54.010

because I did not fit their image of the corporate image. uh I'm not a married man with 2.5 Children. Uh my lover and I live, I don't know. Hold on. Mhm. Very well. Okay, we have to get 1/4 vote. Of course you

00:00:54.230 - 00:01:31.770

want to get it out of committee. So I suggest that maybe you see for a bill is one thing getting the legislature to actually enact it is quite another do it twice. Members of the rules Committee, highly retired rules. Committee rules. Well, number 1301 x 700

00:01:31.770 - 00:01:55.420

00:01:55.420 - 00:02:23.990

the employer and it's what back and bringing it back. Absolutely. I think that the consenting adults bill took seven years to pass. This is the third year were, and I hope it doesn't take that long for this employment discrimination bill, but we're prepared to introduce it

00:02:24.000 - 00:02:27.860

and reintroduce it for as long as it takes until we win. Okay.
