In an editorial penned for the new issue of Playboy, Hugh Hefner reminds his audience that the fight for marriage equality is really a fight for the rights of every American. 

So, what does the Hef have to say about same-sex marriage?

“The fight for gay marriage is, in reality, a fight for all of our rights," writes Hefner. "Without it, we will turn back the sexual revolution and return to an earlier, puritanical time. Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you’ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom. Their goal is to dehumanize everyone’s sexuality and reduce us to using sex for the sole purpose of perpetuating our species. To that end, they will criminalize your entire sex life...This is a religious nation, but it is also a secular one. … No one should have to subjugate their religious freedom, and no one should have their personal freedoms infringed. This is America and we must protect the rights of all Americans.”

Well, hooray for Hugh Hefner. Maybe some of those homophobes who claim to actually "read" his magazine will begin to see how backwards their thinking is (but probably not). They're too backwards to get it.

I think we should take away the rights of blondes. Or skinny people. Let's see how that goes over.
