A good excuse for a trip to Spotlight

A campaign for marriage equality has started in the U.S. White Knot is asking people to wear a knotted white ribbon symbolising that everyone should have the right to tie the knot.

Wear a White Knot on Thursday

wherever you are. whatever you are doing.

The California Supreme Court will be hearing the arguments to invalidate Prop 8 which banned same-sex marriage. The result of this case will impact the fight for equal rightsthroughout the country. On Thursday, show the world how much support Marriage Equality has by wearing your White Knot and telling people why.

So this may be all about what is happening in America, but I believe that acceptance in America will help bring acceptance here. And everywhere.
