1. A Victory Anywhere Is a Victory Everywhere.

Do you not understand that the more states that are flipped, the more it will be easier to flip? Not to mention, the easier it will be to get federal legislation passed?

Should we have equality everywhere? Of course. Should we fight for it everywhere? Absolutely. But a victory in California and/or Maine makes a victory in your state easier.
