Gavin Newsom: “I married 4,036 same sex couples in this winter of love…”

“You know, I think about that. I'll be honest with you. When I did same sex marriage back in the black and white movie days, but 2004, I married 4,036 same sex couples in this winter of love, they called it, not summer winter of love. In February of 2004 in San Francisco, 4,600 for 46 states in six countries. And the overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party opposed that. They were still debating civil unions and I was having a debate about right versus wrong.” (23:29–23:42)
