Playboy Founder Calls Equal Marriage Struggle 'A Fight For All Our Rights'

You can add Playboy founder Hugh Hefner to the list of celebrities and other high-profile figures speaking out in favor of equal marriage.

According to Politico, the 86-year-old calls the struggle for marriage equality "a fight for all of our rights" in an editorial featured in the September issue of his magazine.

Hefner writes -

“The fight for gay marriage is, in reality, a fight for all of our rights. Without it, we will turn back the sexual revolution and return to an earlier, puritanical time. Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you’ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom. Their goal is to dehumanize everyone’s sexuality and reduce us to using sex for the sole purpose of perpetuating our species. To that end, they will criminalize your entire sex life...This is a religious nation, but it is also a secular one. … No one should have to subjugate their religious freedom, and no one should have their personal freedoms infringed. This is America and we must protect the rights of all Americans.”
