A symbol of equality... because everyone should be able to tie the knot.

[helderheid]

The white knot is the new symbol for marriage equality. It takes two traditional symbols of marriage—white and tying the knot—and combines them in a simple way to show support for the right of gays and lesbians to marry. All loving couples deserve the same legal rights, benefits, and respect that civil marriage bestows.

Visibility is our goal. Whether you are gay or straight, please show your support by wearing the knot and telling people why you are wearing it. It may seem like a small thing, but imagine the white knot gaining the pervasiveness and instant recognition of the AIDS Ribbon.

Wear your white knot to work, to school, to your place of worship. Celebrities will be wearing white knots down red carpets this awards season. Together, we will keep the topic at the top of people's minds and keep the conversation going.

25. I'm generally not big on the ribbon, bracelet or other things like that.

Nothing wrong with them. They're often just derivative of each other.

But this one I like. It's original, like the AIDS red ribbon was.

28. gotcha - have to admit, I'm the same way.

[Maat]

24. Kick.
