Who is you to tell somebody who they can't have sex with,who they can't be with?
是誰告訴你他們不能和某人做愛,不能和別人處對象？
They ain't got that power.
他們沒權力這么做。
Nobody has that power to say, you can't marry that young lady.
沒有人有權說，你不能和那位年輕女士結婚。
Who has that power? Nobody.
誰有權這么說？沒人。
But you know what?
但是你知道嗎？
Our state has put the power in your hands,and so what we need you to do is vote for, you gonna vote for 6.
我們國家已將這一權利交由你手上，所以我們需要你做的只是投票，為6號候選人投票。

我懂了。
Vote for 6, okay? I got you.
投給6號候選人，好嗎？ 好的。

What's amazing to me about that clip that we just captured as we were filming is, it really shows how Karess Karess understands the history of the civil rights movement,
令我詫異的是，從我們錄制的這段對話中，可以看出，對民權運動知之甚多，
but she's not restricted by it.
但她沒被束縛，
She doesn't just limit it to black people.
她不只將它局限于黑人。
She sees it as a blueprint for expanding rights to gays and lesbians.
她視之為同性戀者爭取權利的宏偉藍圖。
Maybe because she's younger, she's like 25,she's able to do this a little bit more easily,but the fact is that Maryland voters did pass that marriage equality amendment,and in fact it was the first time that marriage equality was directly voted on and passed by the voters.
也許因為她年輕，她看上去25歲左右,她更能輕松勝任。但事實是馬里蘭州確實決議通過了婚姻平權修正案。事實上這也是第一次婚姻平權法案被全名公投并決議通過。
African-Americans supported it at a higher level than had ever been recorded.
非裔美國人視之為從未企及的新高度。
It was a complete turnaround from that night in 2008 when Proposition 8 was passed.
與2008年的大選之夜，8號法案被通過相比，現在局勢已然完全扭轉。
It was, and feels, monumental.
這無疑，作為里程碑事件，也被我們感同身受，
We in the LGBT community have gone from being a pathologized and reviled and criminalized group to being seen as part of the great human quest for dignity and equality.
我們這些同性戀社區的成員一開始被視為病態，被人指摘辱罵，被視作違法，而發展到如今，我們被視作人類平等，人權斗爭的一份子。
We've gone from having to hide our sexuality in order to maintain our jobs and our families to literally getting a place at the table，
我們從為了不丟工作，家庭和睦，須隱藏我們的性取向，到在圓桌前有一席之地。
with the president and a shout out at his second inauguration.
我們在總統的第二屆就職典禮上吶喊助威。
I just want to read what he said at that inauguration:
我只想讀出他在就職典禮上所說的：
We the people declare today that the most evident of truths,that all of us are created equal.
我們認為如下真理是不言而喻的：人生而平等。
It is the star that guides us still,just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall.
星辰指引我們佇立于此。正如它指引著我們的先輩。透過塞內卡瀑布塞爾瑪，及石墻，照耀萬世。
Now we know that everything is not perfect,especially when you look at what's happening with the LGBT rights issue internationally,but it says something about how far we've come when our president puts the gay freedom struggle in the context of the other great freedom struggles,of our time: the women's rights movement and the civil rights movement.
如今我們已知曉，金無足赤，人無完人，尤其當你正關注同性戀權利的全球議題時。當我們的總統將同性戀自由運動，同我們這一時代之女權運動、民權運動這些偉大的自由運動相提并論時，我們才意識到我們在不斷前行，且愈發的遠了。
His statement demonstrates not only the interconnectedness of those movements,but how each one borrowed and was inspired by the other.
他的陳述報告不只闡明了這些運動內在的聯系,也闡述了它們如何互相借鑒以及相互激勵。
So just as Martin Luther King learned from and borrowed from Gandhi's tactics of civil disobedience and nonviolence,which became a bedrock of the civil rights movement,the gay rights movement saw what worked in the civil rights movement,and they used some of those same strategies and tactics to make gains at an even quicker pace.
正如馬丁路德金學習及借鑒甘地的非暴力不合作運動，醞釀了民權運動的溫床一樣,婚姻平權運動也從民權運動中看到了可取之處，他們使用其中一些相同的策略從而以更迅捷的步伐取得成就。
Maybe one more other reason for the relative quick progress of the gay rights movement.
也許，婚姻平權運動取得如此長足進步的另一原因。
Whereas a lot of us continue to still live in racially segregated spaces,LGBT folks, we are everywhere.
是我們許多人仍被種族隔離。同性戀社區的朋友們啊，我們無處不在。
We are in urban communities and rural communities,communities of color, immigrant communities,churches and mosques and synagogues.
我們在城市，我們在鄉村，我們聚積在有色人種社區，移民區我們可能信仰不同：伊斯蘭教，猶太教，基督教。
We are your mothers and brothers and sisters and sons.
但我們同為兄弟姊妹。
And when someone that you love or a family member comes out,it may be easier to support their quest for equality.
當你愛的家庭成員出柜了，支持他們尋求平等，也許是更好的做法。
