Actor Stanley Tucci has recorded a
video for the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Americans for Marriage
Equality campaign.
“I'm friends with a lot of couples,
some gay and some straight,” the 51-year-old Tucci says in the
30-second video released Wednesday. “And at no point have I ever
thought that my straight friends were more in love or more committed
than my gay friends. So why shouldn't gay and lesbian couples have
the right to get married? Marriage is about love and commitment.”
