• In a MetroWeekly's piece, entitled State of Play, writer Chris Geidner described comments made by Mara Keisling as "harsh but not altogether negative."  Here's some quotes from Mara Keisling found in this article:

    The community failed. The movement failed. The organizations failed. Congress failed. The president failed. Government failed -- part of why government failed is because they didn't prioritize us. Partially that's because we didn't make them, partially it's because the Republicans were just obstructing everything, partially it's because our community didn't step up enough, partially it was because our community was scattered in what they wanted. But we failed together.
