“HUSBANDS AND HUSBANDS”
In “Husbands and Husbands,” a young lad meets a pair of husbands for the first time. He asks a few questions, and then he just gets it. No fear. No weirdness. Amid all the conservative hoopla about protecting the children from gay marriage, this video is an absolutely perfect reminder that it is the children who are the most accepting and most open-minded (and maybe even the smartest) among us. Now let’s go play some ping pong.

“NEW LAW WOULD BAN MARRIAGES BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO DON’T LOVE EACH OTHER.” This satire, from the Onion, speaks for itself.

“Sinead’s Hand”
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: Marriage is a civil right; civil rights should not be put to a public vote. Ever. Now the Irish group MarriagEquality is putting this very basic concept into cinematic terms that even the thickest equality opponent can grasp. “Sinead’s Hand” is hands down one of the best commercials for marriage equality we’ve seen yet.

13 Love Stories
13 couples. 13 heartbreaking tales of the impact of Proposition 8. We love these films for their beauty, candor and, especially, for the initiative taken by photographer Gideon Mendel along with UCLA students and curators to redress the absence of an LGBT face in the No on 8 campaign. 13LoveStories launched as an outdoor exhibition on the UCLA campus in March 2009.

“Gay Marriage hurts small business? WTF?”
File this one under “Yet Another Reason to Madly Adore Keith Olbermann,” who again showed savvy and guts in this “WTF Moment” that totally debunks RNC Chair Michael’s Steele’s outrageous claim that marriage equality is bad for business.

Colbert Coalition’s “Anti-Gay Marriage Ad”
Oh Stephen, Stephen. You are one crazy-funny wingnut, and this parody of the National Organization for Marriage’s “Gathering Storm” ad really takes the (wedding) cake. It’s raining gay married men. Hallelujah!
