But this year we have all seen a real change such that all future discussions on the issue of LGBT rights will have to come to grips with the inevitable fact that an increasing majority of people in this country support it with no qualifications and no equivocations.

It is a wonderful thing to see. And I have seen all of it happen in my lifetime.

The political world has utterly changed.
