And doesn’t “In their own words…” just sound so sinister? Personally, I was pretty sure that we gay activists were coming right out and admitting that we want full equality under the law. But hey — some political movements get great mileage out of a good fear ellipsis.
So yea — just a heads up for Illinois residents and those who love them. Some of the national focus is about to come your way. It’s time to marry civil union-ize your convictions with courage.

*UPDATE: They’ve now posted a public (although non-embeddable) version of the video. SURPRISE — it’s gay people saying they want full marriage equality. Shocking, I know: In their own words [YT]
