Tyne Daly - It Shoulda' Been You

It has been a month now since jumping on the new Gay Marriage proclamation and the Pride parades. But I did find this curtain speech by the triumphant Tyne Daly and just have not had the time to make the posting.

Of course the New York scene and all things Musical Theater were all over this bandwagon when SCOTUS struck down the ruling. But I found her curtain speech especially heartfelt and apropos. I had no idea of her marital status, nor did I realize that she was a pioneer in the civil rights movements decades past. Watch below if you have not already seen it and hear her share her story of marrying a black man in a generation that was also resistant to change and how this new ruling mirrors her own history. Humbling.
