''Please accept my apology for interrupting your speech at Netroots Nation.... Your defense of why you signed them was unnecessary because we all understand the politics and the reality of how it came to be. I wasn't seeking an explanation. I was hoping that you would take the opportunity to strongly express your support for repealing both of those laws and to help make it a reality. You are in a unique position to explain why now is the time to repeal them. You can help change the political dynamic and usher in the vision that you held in 1992 and that I believe you still hold today.... Perhaps today you could help President Obama in his effort to be a fierce advocate for the gay community.''

Part of a public letter by Lane Hudson, a gay blogger who stood up during Bill Clinton's speech at a conference last week to ask the former President if he would call for a repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act and Don't Ask, Don't Tell right now. (Huffington Post)
