Video: Students for Marriage
September 14, 2010
When we launched Students for Marriage Facebook page, Freedom to Marry Summer Intern, Andrew Blumenfeld said,
It’s not often that the progress worth fighting for can be realistically expected in its entirety in any one lifetime or generation. As the young people of this generation, we are primed to see this issue come to a resolution in a timeframe that might mean we enter full adulthood with one less struggle, one less fragment of institutionalized intolerance that weighs on us as individuals and as a community.
The opportunity to realize this potential- to create a society in which our children might never know what a world with marriage discrimination looks like- is real. And not unlike many issues of the past- where a rising generation expected a little better than what the previous generation was planning on leaving behind- this issue will require great effort on the part of the youth, of students.
Check out this short video from Andrew about why now is the time for students and other young people to take a stand in favor of the freedom to marry.
