Sen. Al Franken is the latest celebrity to make a web ad promoting marriage equality in a campaign sponsored by Americans for Marriage Equality.
It’s a national campaign, but the issue has heated up in Minnesota with a November vote coming on a state constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage in the state.
In the video, Franken notes that he and his wife, Franni, have been married 36 years, “many of them happy,” and he says: “I think everybody should be able to marry the person they love. And I think our government should help people make those loving, live-long commitments.”
