ACTION: Vote for Rock For Equality Video!
The above video is one of 15 finalists in the YouTube's Nonprofit DoGooder Video Awards. The winning video will be featured on the homepage of YouTube.com. The video, called "What Kind Of Planet Are We On?," merges science fiction with a story about the heartbreak of the surviving spouse of a same-sex couple (even legally married ones) being denied access to federal social security benefits thanks to the Defense of Marriage Act, just because of the gender of the recipients.
