If I ever get married, I’m going to ask for donations to the Human Rights Campaign instead of gifts. Especially if other Americans in the LGBTQ community still do not have the chance to get married legally by the time I’m ready to get married. A crockpot and a new set of dishes are worth nothing in comparison to the freedom to love.

After disappointment in North Carolina’s recent actions, President Obama has said that he personally believes that same-sex couples should be able to get married under United States law. I would not call this declaration an act of bravery, however; being a decent human and standing up for equal rights should not have to be rewarded with high praise. It should be expected.

Either way, I think this development is a reason to celebrate and to reaffirm my support for President Obama in the upcoming elections. I think you should all do the same. 

In light of recent events in North Carolina, sharing these sentiments with everyone I know seems particularly important. One more state has confirmed the definition of marriage as a union only between a man and a woman. One more state has denied a whole portion of American citizens civil rights and equality under the law.

Marriage under the law, rather, should be more generally defined as a union between two people who are deeply committed to each other. Love should know no boundaries. Laws in the United States should be gender-blind.

President Barack Obama stands for same sex marriage. Do you? 

All kinds of couples should be able to marry under U.S. law, and these couples should be provided with benefits equal to those that heterosexual couple currently have. Love is love, and commitment is commitment. 

(I believe this post represents more people than my last one!)

This is a simplified version of what I will make and post in a few minutes. Not everybody is represented here! 

Did you know that Chick-fil-A openly donates money to anti-gay Christian groups? Now you do. Fried chicken does not taste as delicious when you know that your purchase funds the perpetuation of intolerance in America.

Share this post to encourage others to increase awareness about where their money is being spent and to promote a  BOYCOTT of Chick-fil-A restaurants. There is power in numbers.

Do your own research. What other products do you buy that may be funding a cause that you don’t believe in? What other products do you buy that may be harming the environment? Don’t forget: Your dollar is your vote.
