I am Canadian, and I believe in Gay Rights everywhere, including the right to marry, and right now legally married homosexual couples in California are being threatened. Ken Starr (of Bill Clinton scandal fame) has put forth a legal movement to nullify the marriages of gay couples in California, in response to the passing of Proposition 8 last fall, and this touching video is trying to get the word out that that must not happen. In passing such legislation, government would be undermining loving, committed relationships and the families created from those unions (not to mention taking away the human right they already have to choose who they marry, for goodness sake). It is important to spread their message of love everywhere, not just in the current hotspots. I feel so fortunate to live in Canada at a time like this. All love is recognized as equal here, and we can marry our partners freely, regardless of gender. I figure the more people who see this video, who get a little more exposed to the perspective of these gay families, the more everyone will see just how alike we all are in our ability and right to love. We can, and must, push out the ignorant, divisive mindset that is trying to dictate something we should all unite together for. After all, what are any of us without love?
Let's spread the message - please enjoy this video:
