War Veteran makes it simple on gay marriage


This made me cry a bit.

An 86-year-old WWII veteran got up to speak at a public meeting about the state of Maine's marriage equality bill.

The best quote:
"The woman at my polling place asked me: do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?"
