Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Sound good to youuuu?

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz spilled the equality beans in an interview with the Philadelphia Gay News. Brace yourself, marriage equality is going to be a national party plank in this coming election!

PGN:It’s a month and a half from the convention — can you talk to me about what way the party is leaning on the marriage issue? I know there has been talk that some folks want it to be an actual plank.

DWS:I expect marriage equality to be a plank in the national party platform. President Obama has declared his support for it … Now, our platform committee process is a people-powered process. We have a platform committee and the platform is developed by our Democratic activists and the platform committee members, so they’ll go through a process. I hope that marriage equality, and expect that marriage equality, will be part of our platform.

We are truly living in exciting times, y’all!
