Is there value in presenting the diverse face of same-sex couples around the globe?
According to one subscriber, "With more visibility, those who discriminate won't be able to do it blindly and pretend they don't know who it is affecting." We agree and created the I Am the Face of Marriage Equality Worldwide Campaign to profile same-sex couples representing our diverse community around the globe.
In the first months of 10,000 Couples, nearly 3,000 unique visitors from 105 countries plugged in to the e-magazine and its content, so we think the answer is yes, there is value to more people than we imagined. Now the question is can we get 10,000 inspiring same-sex couples like you and/or your family and friends submit a couple's profile as inspiration to others. We know such inspiration is valued, as more than 80% of those who took the recent poll: Does having visible role models matter? The question is will you help? It is also important for the world to understand that we exist in great numbers, we live normal lives as depicted in the magazine, and we will NOT be caricatured by the small minded "haters and fear-mongers" among them.
NOTE: You must be a subscriber to 10,000 Couples e-mag and a part of the Faces of Marriage Equality Gallery
