Alan Cumming Lends Face To Beautiful New Marriage Equality Ad

Actor Alan Cumming recently joined a group of fellow celebrity Scots in an ad for marriage equality in Scotland, produced by the Equality Network, a campaign working for gay marriage.

The campaign, titled "Equal Marriage", recently released a video, "It's Time," which features Cumming.

The video was made to accentuate support for same-sex marriage in Scotland, as the Advocate points out.

Other celebrities taking part in the project include actors Brian Cox and Billy Boyd.

“I wanted to take part in the Equality Network video campaign because as a Scot, I feel our country should be aware of the inequality that exists, as we are not a nation to discriminate," Cumming said, as quoted by the Scotsman.
