Who can take this seriously? No one who has a close gay relative, neighbor, friend, or colleague. All we have to do to win is live outside the closet.

Studies show that straights who know gays are far more likely to support equality. Our opponents have never come to grips with this. If we were such villains, you’d expect those who know us the best to fight us the hardest. But it ain’t so. Our enemies rely on ignorance, and we have the power to destroy that ignorance. You’ll never change Pat Robertson’s mind by casually mentioning your weekend plans with your partner. But you might change that undecided middle-of-the-roader in your carpool.

The next step in our battle will be to talk to EVERYONE we know about marriage equality. This video is my first stab at developing a set of answers to our opponents’ objections. I hope it can help prepare people and give them confidence for those one-to-one conversations that will win us equality.
