Artist's
Statement: I’m very happy that Obama had the courage
and conviction to show his support for marriage equality despite
the possible political fallout. Even though I’m pushing
for campaign finance reform, I agree with MoveOn that support
for Obama’s risk-taking is warranted and may be needed
to help preserve the progress on the issue. The world needs
more love, not more people trying to discriminate against
consenting adults who love the way they choose. |
