=="We were in fact reminded again while we share the lingering memory of a fence post in Laramie, the sorrow of that image is now joined by a park at Lake Natoma in Sacramento," she said. "And Matthew Shepard is joined by Satendar Singh as a martyr in that fight for justice."
Scott Wiener, a member of Human Rights Campaign's board of directors, said Elizabeth Edwards' speech conveyed to him that her husband agrees with her on most of the issues that are important to the gay community—except for one.
