Emotional Pop Culture Supercut Of Road To Marriage Equality Includes 'Golden Girls' And 'Glee': VIDEO

SSM video

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has posted a video tracking pop culture’s journey towards same-sex marriage.

The ACLU filed the first freedom-to-marry lawsuit in the United States in 1970. 45 years later they are at the Supreme Court to fight to win the freedom to marry for couples in all 50 states.

Backed by Tegan & Sara’s “Closer,” the video, which may bring a tear to the eye, includes clips from Thirtysomething, Longtime Companion, The Kids Are All Right, Roseanne, Glee, ER, Orange is the New Black, Will and Grace, In & Out, Transparent, The Wire, The Golden Girls, The Real World, Northern Exposure, Friends, The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation, Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, and The Birdcage.

Jon Stewart Finds Out What Happens When A GOP Candidate Is Invited To A Gay Wedding

Jon Stewart Finds Out What Happens When A GOP Candidate Is Invited To A Gay Wedding
The question of the day for GOP presidential hopefuls appears to be: “Would you attend a gay wedding?” And Jon Stewart is having a blast with their uncomfortable answers.

“This campaign boils down to, ‘Who do you trust to pick up the phone at 3 a.m. and RSVP to a gay wedding?'” Stewart said on Tuesday night’s “Daily Show.”

On the other hand, this climate is dramatically different from the 2012 campaign cycle, when much of the talk among Republican candidates was about banning gay marriage rather than attending same-sex wedding ceremonies.

“Republicans can no longer dismiss gay marriage out of hand,” Stewart said. “They must engage the question.”

While some GOP candidates have said they would attend a gay wedding for loved ones even if they don’t support gay marriage, Rick Santorum said he wouldn’t go to one. But, Santorum insisted he would still “love and support” the couple anyway.

“I know you don’t want to redefine the word ‘marriage,’ but it does appear you want to redefine the words ‘love’ and ‘support,’” Stewart said. “Santorum doesn’t want to attend the wedding, that’s fine; he’ll be there on the wedding night.”

That last crack was a reference to Santorum’s well-documented “Google problem,” and Stewart warned viewers: “Don’t Google that.”

Check out the clip above for more on what “The Daily Show” is calling “The Invitation Game.”
