The absurdity of marriage bans

This is the much-watch video of the week. On Wednesday, a woman named Kitty Lambert and her long-time life partner attempted to get a marriage license at the Buffalo, N.Y., City Clerk's office. They were denied, but watch what happened next.



Under the law in most of this country, all one needs to get married are two warm, adult bodies of the opposite gender, yet same-sex couples are denied marriage no matter how long they've lived together, no matter how deep their relationship, no matter how many children they have, no matter how much their children will be hurt by the fact that their parents can't marry. This absurd, destructive discrimination has got to end.
