“You’ve already lost.”
This one, from theGLAAD Media Awards, is a little long. Keith Olbermann won the Outstanding TV Journalism Segment Award for his memorable November 10th Special Comment on gay marriage in the wake of the passage of Prop 8. If you’re antsy, the Olbermann part starts around 4:15.
Olbermann mentions in the acceptance speech that he was dealing with a personal crisis, and it happened to be the imminent death of his mother from late-diagnosed terminal cancer. His remarkable tribute to her on Countdown a few weeks later is here:

Props to Gronstal (and his daughter and her generation)! And that he tied his straight marriage’s renewed strengthening of the bond because of letting others have the right to marry! 🙂 Take THAT conservatards!!!

Gronstal’s comment was eloquent and moving. I don’t know much about his other beliefs but on this issue he really shows leadership. I hope his constituents will realize how good his decision was.
