John McCain's daughter, Meghan, encourages NY lawmakers to support marriage equality


In an open letter to NY Republican lawmakers:


"As I read the news about the recent advances of marriage equality across our country, I think it is easy for many to get distracted by the politics and rhetoric on this issue and lose sight of what is really at its heart: the equality of freedom.


No matter how politically charged the discussions about marriage equality may get, the question is really a simple one: Do the rights and privileges we offer citizens include everyone in our country, or only some of us?


I believe that allowing gays and lesbians the freedom to marry is an idea whose time has come."
