Caroline Kennedy
Caroline Kennedy on Thursday became the 100,000th signer on Freedom to Marry’s Open Letter urging President Barack Obama to support marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples.
“Falling in love, getting married, and building a family is part of the American dream,” said Kennedy. “I believe that all Americans, including committed gay and lesbian couples, should have the opportunity to pursue that dream.”
Freedom to Marry’s “Say I Do” campaign was launched on March 14 with an Open Letter to the President signed by prominent Americans, including civil rights leaders, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, and business leaders.
Since then, 100,000 Americans have joined the campaign and signed on to the letter calling on the President to join “the majority of Americans who support the freedom to marry.”
“We’re honored that Caroline Kennedy has signed on to Freedom to Marry’s ‘Say I Do’ campaign,” said Sean Eldridge, Political Director of Freedom to Marry.
“A growing chorus of voices is calling on the President to complete his journey and join the majority of Americans who support the freedom to marry,” said Eldridge.

I thought he already supported it.
I know a big fan of straight people. It didn’t make no sense why most gay people want to be friends with straight people. Come on guys you know what’s going to happen.
@timothy: Wat?
@ Tim please explain further what u mean.
@tim not ALL straight people are against gays. A lot of straight people are actually supportive of gays
@ timothy hate isn’t a good color on YOU either… Bigotry goes both ways. Educate yourself or learn to stay quiet.

WOW I LOVE DEMOCRAT THAT IS THE BEAUTY.
@Tim, I’m straight and I completely support LGBT! I don’t see a problem with gay people being friends with straight people..
Seems like Timothy wants us back in our ghettos when what we’ve been doing for the past twenty years, and way more for some of us, has been to be part of our society and recognized as such. Tim is suffering of heterophobia just like some bigots are homophobes. Just take a look at what happens when people stick to their ghettos. They fight alone.
Not only do they fight alone, but they think everybody else is out to get them. That’s being paranoid.
If a law prevents us from having life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then it is time to do away with that law.
Poor Tim… Do you use that brain to actually think, or is it just for show?
She’s looks pretty too.
