Voice for Equality: Lewis Black

Lewis Black is a Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedien, playwright, author, and actor. Black has releases seven comedy albums and two best-selling books. He is widely lauded for his explosive delivery and pithy political and cultural critiques.

Black has expressed his support of the freedom to marry in many a stand-up performance. While performing in Santa Rosa, CA, in 2004, Black ridiculed efforts to amend the U.S. constitution to ban marriage equality:

“That’s something you’re gonna…worry about now? You need a hobby! ‘Cause on the list of things we have to worry about gay marriage is on page six after ‘Are we eating too much garlic as a people?’”

Freedom to Marry is proud to salute Lewis Black as a Voice for Equality!
