Homecoming

This video, directed by Mike Buonaiuto, is part of the multi-partisan, multi-faith effort to end marriage discrimination in the United Kingdom. I think it, and the message it carries, are great.

As I have repeatedly said—and will continue to say until there is no longer a need—there’s no rational, secular reason to oppose marriage equality: All opposition is based purely on religious belief, and no one has the right to impose his or her religious beliefs on everyone else, nor to deny the blessings of freedom and liberty to their fellow citizens based solely on religious prejudice. And so, if sometimes I sound like a one-note horn, tough: Try having your humanity denied and see how willing you are to keep quiet and go away.

This video is now my second-favourite marriage equality video, after the one from Australia last November. Still, considering how high my standards have become, second is damn good.

I wish I didn’t have to keep blogging about this, because I wish that gay couples were treated the same as straight couples. Until they are, I’ll keep posting videos, I’ll keep publishing posts, I’ll keep criticising and I’ll keep pushing until justice is delivered. There simply is no other choice.
