Wade that most impressed viewers.

She spoke about ways to take action against the decision and the implications of the decision on the LGBTQ community. We can talk a lot about how the Supreme Court just waged war on women's reproductive rights, but the reality is [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence Thomas was very clear on his plan, she said. He doesn't just come for women. They have already come for the right to vote, they will continue, but they come for marriage equality. And quite frankly, they'll probably come for same-sex adoption rights. So now is the time to fight back and it starts at the local level, so find ways to get involved.

And I remember thinking, Oh it's time to say what you mean, and that's what I meant that there's a place for us. And that's such a point of joy for me right now because we have to hold on to our joy, people. I was so grateful. I didn't expect to be in the same place as Julia Roberts, you know what I mean?
