Rep Simon Fights Back Tears During Gay Marriage Speech 

Rep. Steven Simon (DFL) fought back tears while giving a pro-gay marriage speech on the Minnesota House floor
He got emotional while telling a story on a rabbi's lesson to young students about "a new day."
Simon described a rabbi asking his students what is the precise moment when night ends and a new day begins.
"The moment when night ends and a new day begins is the moment when you look into the face of a stranger and see the face of your brother," Simon said in between long pauses. "Until that moment, no matter what time it is, it's still night. But at that moment, that's when the new day begins. I like the sound of that-a new day-and I hope we can all go there together."
