"Luke" TV ad for marriage equality in New York
Our new ad features Karen, Luke & Jessica Schuster of Rochester, NY. If Karen’s daughter Jessica meets someone and falls in love, she can get married, but her gay son Luke can’t. This painful situation is the reality for thousands of families across New York State. We need the New York State Senate to act now and pass the marriage equality bill so that same-sex couples will no longer be treated as second-class citizens.
