Pelosi to Crowd: ‘That’s an Applause Line’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “It is a thrill that protected by this landmark new law, millions more devoted partners will be able to shed a tear of joy — of joy — as they make their wedding vows, celebrate the union with ones that they love, and live happily and safely, safely, ever after with the person they love. People say to me, oh, this is easy for you, because you’re from San Francisco. And that’s an applause line. [laughs][applause] It’s easy for you because you’re from San Francisco and people are so tolerant there. And I said, tolerance has nothing to do with it. That is a condescending word to us when it comes to our community in San Francisco. This is about respect.”
