2:17Now Playing"Every now and again Morgan Freeman lends his incredibly sultry voice to a greater cause. He did it for Barack Obama, when he narrated a pro-Obama ad that inspired and emotionally resonated in only the way the voice of a 75-year-old man with a melodious baritone is able to do. Once again Freeman is lending his voice to a greater cause, this time in support of gay marriage.
In a 30-second television spot for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT group, Freeman's narrative compares the ongoing marriage equality plight to women's suffrage and the civil rights movement. The ad utilizes this month's votes on marriage equality as a catalyst for further change on the issue across the country. The Human Rights Campaign does not want us to lose our momentum."*
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break down Morgan Freeman lending his venerable voice to The Human Rights Campaign in favor of marriage equality.
