Brunner Perfectly Clear on Gay Equality

Jennifer Brunner unequivocally supports gay rights, as she makes perfectly clear in a piece posted today at Huffington Post, entitled "What Is There to 'Get' About Marriage Equality?"

In it, she points out how needlessly complicated the logistics of every-day life can become for gay people, for no reason that benefits anyone else. And she reminds us of a dark episode in Ohio's past: "Ohio decided the 2004 election, using the gay marriage ban as the ultimate wedge to drive a record number of evangelical Christian and conservative voters to the polls." She graciously doesn't mention that her predecessor, Ken Blackwell, while overseeing that election, actively campaigned for the gay marriage ban, making speeches around the state and robocalls to voters the weekend before the election. Just another reason why she's been such a breath of fresh air for Ohio.
