Singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat has
joined the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Americans for Marriage
Equality campaign.
In a 1-minute clip released Wednesday,
the 29-year-old Caillat says love should be celebrated and
encouraged.
“I believe that love is for everyone
and that we should celebrate and encourage love rather than stand in
its way,” Caillat says. “And I'd like to believe that we live in
a time and a country where all individuals have the freedom to love
whomever they choose to and receive the same respect and equal
treatment under the law.”
“Because whether you are LGBT or
straight, you should be able to marry the person you love.”
“But simply hoping this isn't going
to get us any closer to nationwide marriage equality. We have to
raise our voices together and demand it now, because only together
can we protect love,” she adds. (The video is embedded on this

Last month, singer
Demi Lovato helped HRC relaunch its successful marriage campaign.
