Tim Gunn and the ACLU Action Team Present: "My Big Gay (Il)legal Wedding"

A message from Tim Gunn, on behalf of the ACLU Action team:

I'm super excited to be working with the ACLU on the hottest ticket in town: "My Big Gay (Il)legal Wedding."

What does it take to jump out of a plane to fight for your freedom to marry?

Because we're looking for five loving, courageous same-sex couples who will cross state lines to marry in the most creative ways possible—and we need your help to pick them. I'd tell you more about it, but I'd rather show you in an exciting animated video that you can share with your friends!



Why is the ACLU doing something so fabulous (and so far outside the courtroom)? I'm glad you asked.

Since Edie Windsor and the ACLU won the historic Supreme Court case tearing down the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, a growing number of states (16 now) have recognized the freedom to marry for everyone. But two-thirds of the states are still leaving same-sex couples out in the cold.

It's CRAZY that any couple in America can lose recognition of the love they share when they cross some imaginary line. So the ACLU's doing something a little bit crazy to highlight that injustice: Calling for couples to cross rivers, move mountains or jump out of planes to make their wedding possible.

These are amazing couples doing outrageous things to pressure their home states to extend the freedom to marry. And we need your help to find them and to spread their compelling stories of love and commitment.

Click here to watch the new launch video and vote for your favorite couple (or enter the contest yourself). Then share My Big Gay (Il)legal Wedding with everyone you know.

Make it work!
