''That's not a sensitive topic. I love my daughter.... [Growing up,] everybody quoted me and told me what to say, and 'You gotta do this, you gotta do that. I'm not doing that with my daughter. My daughter is 21, she can talk and speak her own mind, and express herself.... I think each of us has a right to choose who makes that medical decision for us. I think everyone has the right to share homes and finances with somebody that they care about. When it comes to marriage, I think that civil rights need to be for all.... My daughter understands my beliefs.
