Marriage Equality Sign

Hoping this pic works! and for William769 -
This is a sign I made to put up after my neighbor put up his AGAINST sign next to my yard so it looked like it was on my property.

The story developed when my neighbor came over for a visit and after neighborly chit chat he informed me that his son is gay. He also told me that when his son asked what he thought of him being gay, he replied that he is his son and will always love him. I was speechless and then realized that his objections were, in his mind, not a rejection of gay people but more of a "religious" definition of marriage.
I did not argue the finer points of the initiative but told him I was glad he did not burden his son with the scars of rejection as so many others have.
Life - a big learning experience!
