"Just had an intense day at jury duty. During voir dire we were asked who would not be impartial. I raised my hand and said "since I can't get married or adopt a child in the state of New York, I can't possibly be an impartial judge of a citizen when I am considered a second class one in the eyes of this justice system." You wouldn't believe how people in the room reacted."
