VIDEO: Why do you support the freedom to marry?

February 7-13 is national Freedom to Marry Week, and here at One Iowa, we want to hear why the freedom to marry is important to you. Right now, our legislators are being hounded by people who want to write discrimination into our constitution, so we must keep our positive conversation going.

Whether you're gay or straight, young or old, Republican or Democrat, telling your "Freedom to Marry" story is vitally important to keeping the freedom to marry in Iowa, and showing other states the importance of marriage for all couples.

To tell your story, record an approximately one-minute video stating why you support marriage for all couples, regardless of gender, and post it as a video response.

You might feel like you are one person standing up to overwhelming discrimination, but as you will see in the coming days, you are not alone. And when you add your story to the thousands of LGBT individuals, their parents, friends and children, our voice becomes clearer and stronger.

You might not know it, but fair-minded legislators are reading and retelling stories like yours every day to illustrate the need to block a constitutional amendment restricting the freedom to marry in Iowa.

Do your part to keep our freedom to marry. Tell your story today!
