“So much of who I am has been defined by gay people. I didn’t have a traditional family growing up, but the love and support, and friendship, humor.. everything that I am is because of these people. And you cannot put a barricade in their way. You cannot define love and you can’t define a family. It comes in so many radical colors. So please, please overturn this. We can’t live in a world where it exists. And children need families. They need loving families. And people want to adopt that are gay and give them a life and a chance to become something better for the future. Why would we ever stand in their way? It’s unfathomable.” -Drew Barrymore
