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.

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.

More straight families for marriage equality
Let’s add Ugly Betty alum, Christopher Gorham, who played the adorable accountant Henry, to the list of of people who strongly support marriage equality.
