I'd seen that they were named in the NYT credits, but hadn't seen what role they played. I figured they were actors of some significance, though. What a journey for them, for Vermonters, and (by proxy, and from a distance) for us all. Thank you for the ID’ing, Susan.

State, the case the led to civil unions in Vermont a decade ago. I've enjoyed seeing all the photos from the Vermont statehouse, but it was particularly nice to see the photos capturing Robinson and Murray's reactions as the vote was announced.

I am a big fan of paradox and the belief in two seemingly contradictory things. Like, say, the power of love and the power of fear. What a very apt week for love to win out.
