The mom to my left is my birth mother, Waudda Faried, and basically, I support civil unions, and they do too, because they’re married,” Faried said on the video, which was released Friday by One Colorado, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Coloradans.

In response to the ruling, which declared that same-sex couples have the right to marry anywhere in the U.S., Faried took to Twitter.
“Love conquers all!” he tweeted Friday morning. “#SameSexMarriage finally legal in all 50 States! I’m so happy for the #LGBTCommunity!”
