Petition urges wedding for "Modern Family" characters

The American Civil Liberties Union has launched a petition to encourage producers of the television comedy "Modern Family" to allow gay characters Cam and Mitch to marry. 

"[S]eeing them get married, and seeing the characters in the story grapple with their desire to get married, makes it real for a bigger part of America," said James Esseks, director of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender & AIDS Project at the ACLU.
