Gay Marriage

"Wrong Side of History" photo shoot shows people throughout history who voted against freeing slaves, women voting and interracial marriage. The photographer says, "Next," and there is an empty seat for someone with a speech bubble that says, "I voted against marriage equality."

This cartoon shows a legislator who voted against marriage equality as part of a series of legislators photographed for a “wrong-side-of-history photo shoot.”
