"Marry Me" CD Promotes Equal Opportunity

FIGJAM Records will be putting out a very special music collection to support equal opportunities for gays and lesbians. "Marry Me" is a double-CD compilation containing songs by over twenty gay, lesbian, straight and transgender artists that is specifically put together to raise awareness about the issue of same-sex marriage.

Besides its support for an important cause, the project also provides many independent artists the opportunity to be heard by a larger audience other than the coffeehouse crowd.

The first CD, entitled "Ceremony," contains songs celebrating love and commitment. The second CD, appropriately named "Reception," has songs that will promise to rock any marriage party.

The set includes a diverse of different genres and artists, including RuPaul ("Love Is Love"), Jenn Lindsay ("Jill & Jill"), Ari Gold ("Bashert"), Daniel Cartier ("Be With Me Here") and Veronica Klaus ("Waiting For A Kiss").

Singer Daniel Cartier says in a press release that this CD project is "an attempt to bring the focus back to what the issue is really all about. That all of us gay or straight have this intrinsic desire to meet someone who'll understand us, make us swoon and we can imagine growing old with."

The CD will be available for purchase on November 16th and will benefit the ACLU Foundation's Lesbian & Gay Rights and AIDS Projects, which advocates the equal rights for lesbians & gays.
