Marriage is often referred to as a dead institution because the most basic tenets of a marriage are not fulfilled today. Most people would advice you that it is a pure waste of time, a trap, a merely temporary legal binding between two individuals who would eventually lose their freedom (as well as their state of mind). Whether the idea of a marriage fills you with a warm glow or encourages your up-chuck reflex, it remains a fact that in all societies, civilized and primitive, marriage still remains one of the most basic rights awarded to every human being.

Or is it? Every culture and every religion will tell you that marriage is the binding of two souls, the next step to a relationship, barring all the differences that arise from religion, race, and what not. And yet, millions of individuals in this so-called modern world of ours are denied this right to celebrate their love because of something as simple and unimportant as their sexuality. The fight between LGBT/gay friendly people and homophobic for equal marriage rights to all is at a critical point and the support of every individual is needed. Pledge your support today with White Knot for equal marriage rights.

White Knot is a US-based non-profit organization founded by Frank Voci a year ago to battle Proposition 8 which restricted the legal definition of marriage to one occurring only between a man and woman. The work of the organization, and the White Knots, has spread to the rest of the world as it celebrates a year of service. The White Knot symbolizes marriage and wearing one is a proud declaration that you support this noble cause and intend to do your best to spread the message and educate as many people in the attempt to create a truly impartial and unbiased world. Whether you have rainbow dreams or are a well-wisher of the community, get yourself a White Knot and show people that you care enough to look beyond a person’s sexual preference.

The White Knot site has a host of information on how you can spread the word, live news related to SSM laws, links to other similar dedicated sites, stories of gay weddings (and straight gay-friendly weddings!), and lots more. If the desire to be true to yourself and do the right thing hits you, then join the White Knot organization, become their fan on Facebook and follow them on Twitter. You can make a difference in someone’s life, take the step in the right direction today.
