Porn Star Wilfred Knight Commits Suicide After Long Battle With Immigration

French native Wilfred Knight died March 5, two weeks after his American husband took his own life, following years of unsuccessful efforts to have their Canadian marriage legally recognized in the U.S.


Marriage Equality doesn’t just mean letting men marry men and women marry women, it means acknowledging, accepting and respecting the commitments that these people have chosen to make to one another. It’s pretty simple. And it could actually save lives. Don’t talk to me, America,  about not being a bully when things like this happen.

DOMA was a massive mistake on the part of Congress. Morality aside, legislators are isolating what has already been shown to be a significant voting segment of the public: the LGBT community and its allies. I’m not naïve enough to believe that an ethical appeal works with most politicians, but they should be getting the idea now that it’s bad for their careers to piss off an important voting group.

My friend Stuart Gaffney posted this on Google+. It saddens me and infuriates me to think that on top of having a Congress that still can’t get it’s head out of its ass, that the Administration will allow this kind of travesty to continue. If this were the only case it would be horrible enough, but you know that it isn’t. I hang my head in shame when I learn these things. Advanced society? I think not.
