"None of us would want to be told we can't marry the person we love".
While I was working out this morning, I saw a marriage equality ad on CNN that I hadn't seen before. After doing some research, I learned The Respect for Marriage Coalition had just released a $1 million dollar ad campaign featuring prominent Republican politicians.
The 30-second ad uses clips from various news networks where the former First Lady Laura Bush, former Vice-President Dick Cheney, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell each voiced their support for marriage equality in the past. The ad ends with President Obama's inauguration clip in support of "our gay brothers and sisters." If you haven't seen it yet, check it out here...
“I have no problem with it, and it was the Congress that imposed Don’t
Ask, Don’t Tell, though it was certainly my position and my
recommen-dation to get us out of an even worse outcome that could have
occurred, as you’ll recall. But as I’ve thought about gay marriage, I
know a lot of friends who are individually gay but are in partnerships
with loved ones, and they are as stable a family as my family is, and
they raise children. And so I don’t see any reason not to say that they
should be able to get married.” – former Secretary of State Colin Powellendorsing gay marriage during an interview today with Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room. (via The Daily What)
