The ongoing campaign for marriage equality has just landed a very high-profile supporter: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Check out her touching new PSA above.

Mrs. Clinton has spoken on the issue on other occasions as well (so it’s not like coming out in support of gay marriage is a huge shock or anything), but never before in such an official capacity as this time.

She sat down for a PSA for the Human Rights Campaign Media, explaining why marriage equality should be a priority in America and how all the other nations are looking at America as a model to follow.

It’s not until gays can marry that the United States can boast of being the free country it always boasts of being, she says.

Only love and acceptance can pave the way to that, Mrs. Clinton explains in the touching HRC video.
