Remember When the Golden Girls Explained Marriage Equality?

by Tess Duncan

In honor of today’s Proposition 8 hearings and tomorrow’s scheduled arguments for and against the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, we found this clip to be more than appropriate. Leave it to Sophia to put it ever-so-eloquently. Blanche is bothered/upset/disturbed by the thought of her brother, Clayton, getting married to his boyfriend, Doug. Sophia shoots down the idea of religion opposing marriage rights and gives Blanche a short, sweet speech about why everyone deserves to love and be loved. You go, Sophia!
