My mother's style has always been consensus-generating.

I've been called 'hardheaded,' 'obstinate,' 'unreasonable,' etc.

China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law.

My father offered his life so our democracy could live. My mother devoted her life to nurturing that democracy. I will dedicate my life to making our democracy reach its fullest potential: that of ensuring equality for all. My family has sacrificed much, and I am willing to do this again if necessary.

As far as same-sex marriage, I really would want to think about that a lot more given the fact that my focus would be always on the child. The innocent should not be given more even burdens than what is absolutely necessary.

With proper governance, life will improve for all.
