Chloé and I had our first wedding ceremony in Paris at a time when we could not be legally married in our home state of California. Now, we are legally married in our home state of California at a time when other same gendered couples would like to be legally married but can’t. Here is a story of a couple in France who are now a legally married same gendered couple at a time when no other same gendered couples can get married. Seriously, one day most of the US and Europe will look back on this time as not just shameful, but a total freaky joke played at the expense of many otherwise happy couples and families.

There’s a rainbow over Vermont today, where gay and lesbian couples began legally saying “I do.” To celebrate, the state’s iconic ice cream brand, Ben & Jerry’s, shed a few pounds and gained a svelte gay hubby: “Hubby Hubby” will replace ”Chubby Hubby” as September’s flavor of choice. In partnership with Freedom to Marry, the month-long campaign is designed to raise awareness for the importance of marriage equality. Swing by any Vermont Ben & Jerry’s shop this month and commit to a Hubby Hubby sundae. With peanut butter, pretzels, vanilla and fudge, equality never tasted so sweet.

Livestream - Freedom to Marry's Evan Wolfson @ CUNY Graduate School of Journalism
When we got involved in the marriage equality movement, the first thing we did was read “Why Marriage Matters: America, Equality and Gay People’s Right to Marry,” by Freedom to Marry founder Evan Wolfson. The paperback is now looking a bit tattered, with notes in pencil and whole passages called out in yellow highlighter. I guess you could say we really liked the book.
In about five minutes, its author will be at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism talking about the future of marriage equality. And he’s taking questions… from YOU! Hope you’ll tune in and join the discussion. Should be insightful!
Cheers!

June 3, 2009 Equality Maine created this commercial for their successful campaign to win marriage equality. We dig the way it integrates a rainbow of different families, both gay and straight, who support equality for all couples.
