    At 8:00 when Lily realizes she's rambling a bit and apologized and that Jane immediately turns toward her partner, to look at her directly ignoring the camera entirely was so beautiful. It was a silent show of support that's so gorgeous about their relationship.

      I normally watch a video in it's entirety before jumping down to the comments but I just paused it at 8:13 thinking "I have to see if anyone else is picking up on this too"

    Lily is a national treasure! Good to see her with Jane and relating their lives together and my word, 50 years together, collaborating, cohabitating, living through and being a part of what I still call Gay Liberation (inclusive of LGBTQ folks) has been extraordinary. As a gay man of 66 I can appreciate their journey. I hope they continue entertaining us and wish them well.

    Jane and Lilly are even more beautiful now. Im 54 and somehow, I always knew. Alot for a 4 year old who told his mother proudly that he was going to marry Robin the "boy wonder" not Batman. It only seemed natural to marry the person you love. I loved Robin. Why not? Thanks Jane.

    I grew up in a house where I had an understanding of the LGBTQ community because of some of my relatives. I'm a 55 yo straight woman who is so glad that I have now seen where all states allow gay marriage. Where we have gay characters on TV and movies . And where we interview gay couples just like straight couples. I know there is still more to do but I'm glad to live in a time where it is so much more accepted on such an open stage.
