It's certainly a big moment for gay rights, and we've seen your tweets about the vote in Maryland; Why is this issue so important to you? And what do you want people to know? 
"I think it's so crazy that it's still an issue in our country. Living in New York we meet all different types of people, from all different places, that have different sexual orientations. That's what I love so much about NY. I can't believe that in some states, people are still fighting this! It's so close-minded.
Being that Maryland is my homestate, I wanted to do anything I could to bring awareness and get that law passed so that my friends in Maryland could have the same rights we do in NY. I'll be attending a fundraiser on September 13 for Marylanders for Marriage Equality at the James Hotel in New York City, to benefit the campaign for same-sex marriage in Maryland."
