Catholics for Marriage Equality MN
(C4ME-MN) on Thursday released a music video for the song For All
The Children.
The song was recorded in April and the
video premiered Wednesday in Minneapolis at the C4ME-MN event I
Do! Believe in the Freedom to Marry
held in Loring Park.
The video will be used during the
campaign to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment to the
Minnesota Constitution, which if approved would ban gay marriage in
the state.
The hymn was composed by local gay
rights activist David Lohman.
“The hymn is about protecting our
kids and our campaign is about marriage – that's all about family,”
Lohman said in a
behind the scenes video. “Because the Roman Catholic Church is
asserting itself so strongly in this campaign, there is such a power
in Catholics speaking to other Catholics and saying there is not a
monolithic voice within the Catholic Church, that you can be faithful
and Catholic and oppose this amendment too.”
More than 300 Catholics are featured in
the video singing their support for LGBT young people. (The video is
