For your viewing pleasure ladies and gents. I believe this is a big day for gay rights. Our message has just been said so eloquently and shown so beautifully that the tone of the conversation will now change forever.

If you doubt me, watch the video. I believe it is going to change everything. The video was just released to help support the Washington Gay Marriage Bill...this is, 100%, a political piece of art. I can honestly say, I have NEVER seen a more moving political message in my life.

It's a big news night. I'm hoping y'all will kick and rec so more people have a chance to see this amazing video.

You can buy it on iTunes, I already have. I'm hoping the song is #1 THIS week.
