History has been made several times at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, and it's happened again, as Sarah McBride has become the first transgender person to ever speak a National Convention.

First up was Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the first openly gay person elected to Congress from the state of New York. He spoke eloquently about his husband Randy and their three children.

"On June 26th, 2015, I was walking to work past the Supreme Court. A crowd was gathered awaiting the Court's historic marriage decision. The news hit like a thundercloud. A lot of us wept. Then, spontaneously, hundred joined together to sing our National Anthem.

I called Randy, and I could barely speak. You see, Randy and I have been together for 24 years. 23 of those years have been spent raising children. Yes, our family may be a little different. But we read bedtime stories the same. We tie shoes and check homework the same. We dream and we comfort the same. But until that day we weren't the same, not really, in the eyes of the law. So as I listened to our National Anthem I realized that our love, our family, was no longer less than. We were equal."

Maloney then introduced trans activist McBride, adding "Sarah, it's an honor to make history with you, because we are stronger together."

McBride introduced herself, telling the crowd "My name is Sarah McBride and I am a proud transgender American."

She went on to talk about coming out as trans while serving as student-body president in college, and the fear she felt, worried that "my dreams and my identity were mutually exclusive."

But that changed when she began interning at the White House, and helped her home state of Delaware pass protections for trans people.

But, she said, there is much more work to be done.

"Will we be a nation where there's only one way to love, only one way to look, and only one way to live?" she asked "Or will we be a nation where everyone has the freedom to live openly and equally? A nation that's stronger together."

McBride told the story of her husband, Andrew, who was also trans—and discovered he had terminal cancer.

Andrew passed away just four days after they were married.

"Knowing Andy left me profoundly changed. But more than anything else his passing taught me that everyday matters when it comes to building a world where every person can live their life to the fullest."

She ended her historic speech with an endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

"Today in America, LGBTQ people are still targeted by hate that lives in hearts and in laws. Many still struggle just to get by," said McBride. "But I believe that tomorrow can be different. Tomorrow we can be protected and respected, especially if Hillary Clinton is President. That's why I'm proud to stand here and say that 'I'm With Her.'"

Her comments echoed what she told Logo correspondent Raymond Braun earlier: “Every single aspect of society converges in politics, and if you do want to make a difference, if you do want to change your community, if you do want to make a safer world for you and your friends, be involved."
