Watch Yesterday’s Hearing
Yesterday’s hearing is available on line. (My testimony starts one hour and 20 minutes into it.)
During the hearing, we were instructed to not react in any way. At one point, “Amen!” was coming from one side, and at another point “Amen!” was coming from the other side. The Chairman reminded everyone to cut it out.
The other breech of the no-reaction rule was a group of PFLAG parents who stood up on cue, holding up photos of their gay/lesbian kids. The clip I saw in a news report showed a security guard moving right to them to get them to sit down. You gotta love those PFLAGers.
More insider’s commentary later.
Awesome speech! Every little bit helps–especially when it is so exquisitly stated.
