Perhaps Shakespeare said it best in his sonnet that love never “looks on tempests, and is never shaken.”
And let’s not forget the words of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy from his landmark ruling (Obergefell v. Hodges) on gay marriage: “Rising from the most basic human needs, marriage is essential to our most profound hopes and aspirations.” His words and ruling are a powerful and profound affirmation of the dignity and equality of LGBT Americans.
Your heart will melt as you watch this video montage of 50 LGBT married couples in 50 states profess their love for each other. Filmmaker Yulin Kuang set the video to the profound words of William Shakespeare’s classic sonnet 116 that defines just what love is and is not. These GLBT couples are living proof of the sonnet’s words, which begin, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.” Watch as these lesbian and gay couples from Florida to Alaska, Texas to Michigan, California to Rhode Island hold hands, kiss, dance, and get married. As they are pronounced wife and wife and husband and husband you’ll wonder how we ever could have doubted the right for same-sex couples to marry.
