First Marriage Licenses for Same Sex Couples Issued in Washington State

That statement "In God We Trust" was NOT originally on our currency, but was added by religious zealots. We need to REMOVE IT from our currency, and respect the separation between Church and State. Religion has NO PLACE in the laws of a land, and if you want to live in a country run by religion, move to Iran.

wat has come of our country... it says on each piece of currency in god we trust but now we dnt trust in god...

I want all four of our states to vote in favor of marriage equality. I want it to start a chain reaction. The more states that grant marriage equality, the more states that WILL grant marriage equality. I bet we will see Tennessee voting on this issue before too long. If we're REALLY lucky, Tennessee won't ever have to vote on the issue, our federal government will enact equality for all of us. DOWN WITH DOMA!!! Because of DOMA, I can't even live with my fiance that is from Australia... :-( Sad

I am proud of these people for standing out while you sit in the closet and debate your life. A candle wick has sparks in all of us and you don't know weather to take it and explore or blow it out and follow someone elses mindlessly following a cult of lights or a light so keep warm and see something, they and myself chose to take a light and lead, instead of blow ours out and follow. I am an ally, i have 2 mothers and a gay older brother, and i am not and will not be as closed minded as you.

It is ignorant to also assume disagreement in general is not hate. Most motives are not easily apparent, I think unless motives can be clearly defined by action it is unnecessary to even regard them. That a person disagrees and will vote to enforce their perspective upon the rest of us is enough. I hope motive will be seen as a superfluous topic; ultimately freedom to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" should be the focus, especially when regarding such a benign action - marriage.

blizzard762 commented on 20 Oct 2012

Disagreement and hate are not always synonymous. It is equally true that those who claim non-heterosexuality is a "lifestyle" (ie. a choice) and "unnatural" are severely deluded. These people have an irritating tendency to accept, wholesale, unsubstantiated religious assertions while rejecting rigorous scientific findings. They believe the dictates of an imagined deity, but deny the harm caused to real people by such beliefs. I find that my patience and respectability wane in their presence.

Ifihad Afulcrum commented on 20 Oct 2012

I mildly disagree in that to call it hate is simply inaccurate. It may be hate OR disagreement I've observed people avoid admitting they're judging others based on whom someone loves, so a rational stance that anti-homosexuals feel safe in taking is parenting. The majority of my family and friends' families are anti-homosexual and religious, ask them why they feel that way and their answer is most commonly inferior parenting and/or scriptural.

Dangles commented on 02 Jan 2013

Can we make a new law requiring all children from now on to be raised by lesbians? Sure straight people have managed to churn out a few good ones, but you guys also really know how to fuck up a kid. Every person I've seen with lesbian parents is really happy, successful, and well adjusted, and I have yet to see a single homophobic bigot.

Corbin Reed commented on 10 Nov 2012

I don't know if any of those families believe in God, but this is not to offend anyone, but God bless you guys. Seriously, God bless you. As a Christian I can say that I will pray for your families, your marriages, and equality that you guys need, deserve, and require. Just like any other American. Just like any other human.

blizzard762 commented on 19 Oct 2012

A beautiful video that drives home how utterly pathetic people are when they fight to "protect" "traditional marriage". They're battling ghosts and fake enemies of their own creation, dumping millions of dollars and human lifetimes of energy into a cause that has no use.

JAIMIEHUCK commented on 16 Oct 2012

I wish you had gotten some perspective from the East side of the mountains. A lot of time people forget that 60% of this state is on the other side of the mountains and that their is more than seattle, and we aren't all rednecks!

jamielesk commented on 20 Oct 2012

I'm fine with people who disagree. We're all entitled to our beliefs. I'm just not a fan of the argument that being homosexual makes you an unfit parent solely based on your sexual orientation.

Ifihad Afulcrum commented on 20 Oct 2012

Rather than calling names perhaps this states your point: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln, letter to H.L. Pierce, Apr. 6, 1859

Gabriel Bousquet commented on 25 Oct 2012

I LOVE that Google is standing up for this important issue! It is legal everywhere where I live (Canada) and I can't wait until all our southern friends get the same rights.

Kevdog1800 commented on 04 Nov 2012

0:25-0:31 is pictures of North Bend and Snoqualmie, that's where I live (North Bend) and Went to School (Snoqualmie) YAY MARRIAGE EQUALITY and PLEASE vote to pass Ref 74!!

irllcd13 commented on 02 Nov 2012

The funny thing is, a number of the gay people I know would probably vote Republican if the GOP could pull their head out of their ass and drop the homophobic bullshit.

OCobthaigh commented on 04 Nov 2012

If I lived in one of these states I would be FOR equality! Unfortunately, here in TN, it will likely never be on a ballot in my lifetime. *Biblebelt facepalm*

Blake Whitaker commented on 03 Nov 2012

I'm voting this election for R74 because it is the right thing to do. These people deserve the same civil liberties as every other American. It's that simple.

Bobby P commented on 17 Oct 2012

We're gonna win In Washington State. I live in Seattle with my partner of 11 years and have helped with the Approve Ref 74 campaign. Wonderful video!!

Edith Poknut commented on 03 Nov 2012

we will win the race people don't give up, fight a good fight for the right of every body not only for some body, but for ALL

John Coons commented on 16 Oct 2012

As someone who lived in both Maine and Washington, I feel like you've done a beautiful job capturing the essence of both.

OCobthaigh commented on 04 Nov 2012

And can you imagine what older gay couples had to go through in their younger years?? Man, THAT would be so awful.

EmVandermeulen commented on 16 Oct 2012

First of all, your comment is ridiculous. Second of all, queerage isn't a word. Your intelligence is showing.

ImaginarySkyfriend commented on 19 Oct 2012

Beautiful work, as always, guys. Thank you for creating these wonderful glimpses of happy same-sex couples.

11fkc commented on 28 Feb 2013

I'm a straight person and some day I hope to have that true love all these couples have for each other.

CMichaelEH commented on 16 Oct 2012

why is the cinematography so much better in this one? (Not that any of them were bad; just saying…)

jamielesk commented on 16 Oct 2012

Wow...look how terrible of parents and human beings they are....oh wait...... Hate is ignorance.

Approve Referendum 74 to Allow Same Sex Marriage in Washington State

User Comments

samgsea commented on 07 Nov 2012

It looks like Referendum 74 is being approved by Washington voters. Thank you fellow citizens for allowing me and so many others to marry. Equality has won in Maine and Maryland while Minnesota has fought back a constitutional ban and Iowa judge Wiggins has be re-elected to the bench even though he supported Iowa's same-sex marriage law. Overall - awesome! I look forward to more loving committed couples being able to celebrate their lives together with language that treats everyone the same.

Robert Blake Hoeving commented on 05 Nov 2013

Hey Scott, just recently found your page and think it was and is a great idea. Its nice to see a NORMAL face put on the whole coming out experience. I also think that just as a normal person you have a lot to say and think what you have said covers a lot of what is on peoples minds. Thanks for sharing yourself and your experience with the world. I do hope to hear an update someday.

samgsea commented on 18 Oct 2012

Sorry I don't know Russian and I know you're not a Washington voter but just to clarify...No one I'm volunteering with on the Approve Referendum 74 campaign, nor any of my friends or relatives have ever talked about wanting to marry their pets. Good luck with that campaign!

Heral Gafoni commented on 08 Nov 2012

Fist of all I am not Russian although I am fascinated by them, and I am sorry if you can't read English, ...take some college. Don't pretend you know what you're talking about, you do not look very smart, don't just blab-do some research first.

Heral Gafoni commented on 13 Aug 2013

What is next? Approving sex with children? That what gays are going for. Example gay couple in Australia sexually abused boy from age 1 on top of that gay parent said that those were the best days of his life

ddog5858 commented on 19 Jun 2012

You are just darling! Some lucky guy is going to snap you up quick! I loved hearing the nice letters you have received. The 86 year old is wonderful!

samgsea commented on 13 Aug 2013

I'm glad to see you're still watching gay videos. Enjoy. At least my state and my country now treat me equally under the law.

Jokk3asd commented on 19 Jun 2012

Congratulations for you parents 47th anniversary day!!! And good job Scott!!! Keep posting videos, always pleasure to watch!!

Heral Gafoni commented on 24 Aug 2013

Good thanks. Have you considered working as enema specialist something tells me that you are going to enjoy it

cableheart commented on 17 Nov 2012

of course you're not Russian. 'ignorant, homophobic and rude' has (thank god) not become a nationality yet.

samgsea commented on 20 Jun 2012

Thanks. I really can't believe how long the video is but I had so much to talk about.

Seattle Men's Chorus & Seattle Women's Chorus Celebrate Marriage Equality in Washington State

User Comments

Devlin Callaway commented on 13 Dec 2012

This brought tears of joy to my eyes to see fellow lesbian and gay family being wed in front of the Seattle Men's and Women's choruses in Benaroya Hall. It's about time! Those of us in less progressive states will have to wait a while longer for such an event; but just witnessing this gives our hearts a measure of celebration as we recognize that we are finally being legally seen as people who deserve to live our lives with whom we choose to love and share the same rights as hetero couples.

amy glass commented on 13 Dec 2012

You are just going to have to deal with your anger and frustration because gay people are getting married whether u like it or not. Gay marriage might be legal nationwide by next year through the supreme court. What are u going to do with your life then? Homophobes have had their time in the sun, NOW its time for gay people to get the equality they deserve. The arc of the moral universe is long but it always bends towards justice.

Michael Murphy commented on 16 Dec 2012

My partner Scott and I were in attendance that night (in fact, you can actually see us in one of the balconies in crowd pan shot). I'd never seen him cry before and I never do at weddings, but this one really hit me/us. Such a poignant and beautiful moment and one of the most inspirational things I have seen in my 35 years alive. Way to pave the way Washington! Never stop the pursuit of equal rights!!

darylfan commented on 24 Dec 2012

Its so wonderful to see such happiness. I attended the SMC Christmas show the weekend before this ceremony and wish I had been able to be there again that day. I am a proud Washington State resident who was happy to have the opportunity to vote for Ref 74! As a straight person living my life the way I want to live it, I am so happy to have had a part in allowing others to have that same right!

amy glass commented on 13 Dec 2012

Straight people sodomize each other all the time with oral sex, vaginal sex using contraceptives or while infertile and anal sex. U are confused. I support gay people fully. Your time and the remaining homophobes' time has come to an end. Gay marriage WILL be legal in the entire U.S. and there is nothing u can do about it except foam in the mouth and pout. How pathetic and embarassing!

Lon Diffenderfer commented on 12 Dec 2012

So beautiful! I'm crying and cheering! Congratulations to the couples. Thank you to the state of Washington and to the Choruses for making this possible. How could anyone believe that this is wrong and want to deny these wonderful people the right to be married? I wish that I could hug all of you!

Rod Parke commented on 12 Dec 2012

As someone who was there (with Dale, my own partner of 32 years), I don't think there were many dry eyes in the packed audience. Especially perfect was the singing of Bernstein's hymn from 'West Side Story' just after the couples were married. We are all blessed to have this video.

Chip Prince commented on 12 Dec 2012

I've known Neil and Donn nearly forever. I had no idea when I started to watch this video that they would be one of the couples. What an amazing thing to witness! What an amazing day!

Shannon Riddle commented on 13 Dec 2012

Proof that with enough voices singing, you can't tell that half of us are sobbing between notes (and the other half are grinning so big their faces are ready to split)!

JimDLH commented on 11 Dec 2012

I was in the audience for this. As wonderful as this video is, it doesn't capture the tidal wave of love and enthusiasm from everyone in the house. Mazeltov to all!

SFGMCVideo commented on 11 Dec 2012

Congratulations to the wonderful couples and choruses for shining your light and spreading joy and harmony across the great state of Washington!

David Skelley commented on 11 Dec 2012

Fantastic and beautiful. Congrat's couples and Washington! I hope to repeat this with my partner here in California in the near future....Love.

Ellis Heindselman commented on 26 Dec 2012

I cried, it's so amazing to see the couples finally be able to get married after so many years. We have came a long way.

Jill Freuden commented on 21 Dec 2012

My 19 year old daughter echoed all our thoughts; it's about time, thanks chorus for sharing this.

ljarnill commented on 11 Dec 2012

Such an amazing and powerful video. Remember y'all: Love overcomes fear and prejudice, ALWAYS.
