Gil: Speak Out
While there are numerous arguments in favor of gay marriage, I am not here to discuss the reasons why so many people support marriage equality. Instead, I want to discuss how to articulate that position in the hopes that one day our government will allow all Americans access to the same marriage rights, regardless of sexual orientation. And articulating that position does not start and end with changing your Facebook profile picture to a red equals sign for a day or two. Increasing visibility and spreading awareness through social media may be the beginning, but in order to achieve real societal progress, those of us in favor of same-sex marriage have a responsibility to push back against anti-gay marriage sentiment, out loud and in person.
