I'm celebrating with the President - want to come?

Diane, there's an idea from Star Trek that I've always appreciated: "Infinite diversity in infinite combinations." What this means to me is that, whether out in space or here on Earth, there's no set prescription for how to live our lives. We are all unique, and we should celebrate our differences. Now, some folks may disagree. They may shake their heads in disapproval or discomfort at all of the beautiful diversity that makes this country great. But when I'm confronted with that kind of close-mindedness, I just look at the incredible progress we've made together. Decades of hard work and passion have brought us where I always knew we could go -- to a place where love is love, and marriage equality is the law of the land. My husband Brad and I are going to join the Democratic National Committee -- and President Barack Obama! -- in New York City later this month for its annual LGBT Gala, and Diane, I want you to come, too. After the Supreme Court's landmark marriage equality ruling in June, we have a lot to celebrate. And I don't know about you, but I want to thank the President in person for his continued support of the LGBT community. Diane, if you chip in $3 or whatever you can to the DNC right now, you'll be automatically entered to win a free trip to NYC to join President Obama and me at the LGBT Gala.
