It doesn't make sense. I'm out of the closet and very proud. I walked down the street holding my boyfriends hand in New Orleans several years ago. We still couldn't get married there if we wanted.

Chavez is talking about not being afraid to speak out and uniting for a common cause.
I find the quote inspirational.
