1. That's awesome! Yesterday I just saw the video of Reid being given the ring. Quite an achievement!

7. The first time I ever called Sen. Reids's office years ago about DADT my voice was shaking.

I was totally nervous. Now it's like second nature calling Congress.

Though, I can't imagine jumping onto a stage to confront the Senator.

Unfortunately, it's a little blurry.

9. Lots of amazing grassroots advocacy, mixed with direct actions made this happen.

And as Barney Frank recently said, "Two down. Two to go."

p.s. The video shows BOTH when Choi gave it to Reid, then the video cuts to Senator Reid's office showing Choi getting the ring back.

I've been getting emotional all day and this just sent me over the top.
