What she's come to see about me and my family, she's also talked about with her husband, parents, and in-laws. So *I know* that being out is not only making a difference that I can see, but one that has a ripple effect on gay and lesbian civil rights. And I didn't "do" anything except be myself, talk about my weekends, my child, my partner, and my life, just like anyone else.
