Marriage Equality Matters

When I started writing Naked in the Rain and Afterglow, same-sex marriage was not a topic in the news (nor was the Catholic Church and child molestation, by the way…).

During editing, I had to change some of what I wrote in Afterglow, because since I’d written the first draft, same-sex marriage had become a big issue, with different states passing different laws. Seems a bit silly though, that states are dealing with this issue. Isn’t it a matter of human rights? Isn’t that part of our constitution? Marriage equality should be a national mandate; it is a civil right.

Basic Rights Oregon asked me to create a video about why Marriage Matters to me. It’s very personal, but I decided to share it here. If you are so inclined, you can sign a pledge for equal marriage rights on the same page.

Thanks for listening.
