“

“Look, our state has changed… The little rural communities, little towns are all changing. If you celebrate that, if you give our young people a place to blossom and grow and to really integrate, if you create the opportunity for all of us to integrate and to each come over to the other’s perspective a little bit, how can that not be good for everyone?”
