CNN.com - Transcripts
per a phone conversation with my sis: "Well, in our last hour, we spoke live with three people who were against the ban on same-sex marriage -- Frances Nicholson and Cynthia Aler (ph), who were married last year in California, and their 18- year-old daughter, Mary-Kate Nicholson (ph)." Mrs. N was my very favorite teacher in HS, and I babysat Mary-Kate when she was a baby, along with her older brother. I had no idea then that she was gay, although I find myself unsurprised.
