Great night in Miami. Kudos to local leadership team who raised over
$100,000 to help fight for EQUALITY. Nearly 300 turned out at the River Lounge tonight for the 2010
Equality Florida Miami Gala. Volunteers, elected officials and community leaders came to celebrate Equality Florida's victories and our "Voice for Equality: honorees Congresswomen Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz's 6 year old and 10 year old daughters brought the house down as they accepted the award on their mother's behalf. Florida Senator Dan Gelber also brought his daughter to the Gala and did a fantastic job in presenting the awards.
Senator Gelber has been working hard for equality in Tallahassee. He praised Equality Florida's Public Policy team for a bold strategy that allowed pro-equality House and Senate members to denounce the Adoption ban from the floor of both chambers, breaking 33 years of silence on the
adoption issue.
