Yes, I believe in equal rights for everyone. Yes, I believe that if two people love each other and choose to commit their lives to each other it doesn't matter what their sexuality is. Yes, I believe in gay marriage.

Yes, I was appalled when the state of California passed Proposition 8. Yes, I am scared that the rest of the world will follow suit. Yes, I worry that there will be a day when people I care dearly for will not have their relationship recognised in the eyes of the law.

Yes, I believe in equality. Yes, I believe in freedom. Yes, I believe in love.
