Vice President Joe Biden hailed the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community as "freeing the soul of the American people" during his weekend visit to Provincetown, Mass.

"Many of you have advanced civil rights at great expense," Biden said, according to Cape Cod Times' Jason Cook. "If I had to use one adjective to describe this community it'd be courage. You have summoned the courage to speak out, to come out. We owe you." Biden also noted that the LGBT community's efforts also advanced the "civil rights of every straight American."


Biden's wife Jill also noted, "The road to equality is long."
