Voice for Equality: Kirsten Gillibrand
April 20, 2009
Kirsten Gillibrand was sworn in as New York’s Junior Senator on January 27th, 2009, replacing current Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Prior to her appointment to the U.S. Senate, Gillibrand served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing New York’s 20th Congressional District, which spans across ten countries in Upstate New York.
In a video presented at the national dinner for the Human Rights Campaign in February 2009, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (NY-D) cut right to the core of the current debate when she began her statement with, "I believe in marriage equality."
Freedom to Marry sat down with prominent politicians from across the
country in July of 2010 to hear why they support marriage for all loving and committed
couples, as part of our Political Voices for Equality public education video project. Sen. Gillibrand's interview is below:
