Empire State Pride Agenda Releases New York Marriage Ad

The Empire State Pride Agenda has released their 2nd video ad in support of marriage equality within New York state.

The video shows Karen Schuster of Rochester, NY who has a gay son and three straight children. She wants to know why her son Luke does not have the same rights as her daughter Jessica. In Karens words, If Jessica meets someone and falls in love and wants to get married, she can. But if Luke meets someone and falls in love and wants to get married, he can't. It's not equal treatment. 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.
