Related: About this forumThe 8 Best Marriage Equality Videos From Around the World
http://www.gaycities.com/outthere/18768/marriage-equality-videos-from-around-the-globe/1) With the release of the viral Its Time marriage-equality PSA rending hearts across Australia and the world, we thought it might be time to collect some of the worlds best pro-gay-marriage videos. If these moving pieces doesnt convince your friends to support marriage equality, we dont know what to do for them.
2) Canada has legalized gay marriage for over five years now, and this adorable love story between an Ontario mountie and a Quebecois officer celebrates that. Note the ad wasnt actually sanctioned by the Canadian government. Its something of a joke placed between shows on Canadian television chronicling notable bits of Canuck history.
3) *This is a MUST see!* This touching piece shows the heart-wrenching effects of not allowing non-biological children to visit their LGBT mothers or fathers in the hospital.
4) While its not an ad, it certainly helped marriage equality in England when the Prime Minister David Cameron said, I dont support gay marriage in spite of being a conservative, I support gay marriage because I am a conservative.
5) The daughter of a notoriously anti-gay president supports marriage equality in New York State. Is it too much to wish that she had done this while her dad was in office?
6) Hollywood assembled some of its brightest, funniest stars for this hilarious musical parody of Californias Prop 8 battle. And then Dustin Lance Black went and tried to top it with his own Prop 8 play. Oh Dustin, you scalawag!
7) Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old student, speaks to his states legislature about being raised by two moms. This nearly year-old video is making the viral rounds again, probably because Wahls speaks so eloquently or because hes so dreamy.
8) Everyone wants someone to grow old with, says Estelle Gettys character Sophia. And shouldnt everyone have that chance? Yes, Sophia. Yes they do. Even foul-mouthed, old ladies in nightgowns deserve some good, clean lesbian love.

One of my favorites is the the guy who walks all over Ireland knocking on every front door asking permission to marry his girlfriend. The tag line is something like "How would you feel if you needed everyone's permission to marry?"
