Isn't that a great line?  It's one of the tenets put forward in the YouTube clip below from Stop8.org, released this afternoon after the California State Supreme Court announced their decision on Prop 8.  As they point out in the clip, "Even when the news is bad, it's still a great time to start conversations.  And each conversation brings us closer to winning the fight."

Maybe that's the central lesson of today...despite the anger many feel today, marriage equality will come to California, and it will come because ordinary, every day people are talking about LGBT people, and talking about same-sex marriage.  Check out the video below from stop8.org, and definitely heed their call to tell everyone you know why you support marriage equality.  It's those conversations that will change this country.
