She's Apologized to the Chronicle.

"It was not my intent to cause any offence, and I am truly sorry if I did so."

Would have been better if this was more widely reported, or if she'd had the courage to tweet it - but probably going to be the best we get.

Those fighting this issue deserve better from their politicians. Much better.
