In the name of matrimony

This video that I am posting is basically Ellerman's Lecture today in a nutshell.

Right out of the gate the video gives some background information about same sex marriage. By touching on the facts of benefits and how once the states allowed same sex marriage it was up to the federal system to catch up and to also recognize the marriages.

With the federal system recognizing these marriages it allows people who get married in a state that allows same sex marriage to have their marriage recognized even if they move to a state that doesn't.
Not only does it give security to the couples that throughout our country their matrimony will always exist but it allows for them to also reap the benefits that come along with marriage.

I personally think its great that the federal system would have to recognize them as a legal bond where they would be able to reap the benefits of married couple. I believe that regardless of our sexual orientation we all should have equal rights.
