From http://mittgetsworse.org/

Julie Goodridge was a lead plaintiff in Goodridge v. Dept of Public Health — the lawsuit that brought same-sex marriage to Massachusetts. In this video, Goodridge shares her family’s encounters with Gov. Mitt Romney, including a meeting with Romney, which Goodridge describes as “the most frustrating experience in the entire marriage case.”

Julie and her partner won their hard-fought right to marry after years of struggling in Massachusetts courts.

In her Mitt Gets Worse video, Julie describes her meeting with Gov. Romney, who responded to a personal appeal for equality by saying: “I don’t care.”
