and it looked like the bill
was going to pass,
and that would have been a problem,
but Nicole went personally
to every legislator in Maine
and said, "I can do this.
If they see me, they'll understand
why I'm no threat in the ladies' room,
but I can be threatened

Well, we still have a ways to go
in terms of anti-discrimination.
There are only 17 states
that have an anti-discrimination law
against discrimination in housing,
employment, public accommodation --
only 17 states, and five of them
are in New England.
We need less expensive drugs.
They cost a fortune.
And we need to get
this condition out of the DSM.
It is as much a psychiatric disease
as being gay and lesbian,
and that went out the window in 1973,
and the whole world changed.
And this isn't going to break
anybody's budget.
