Kathy Griffin is on our side. She feels so strongly about gay marriage that she’s devoted a whole episode of her show – Life on the D-List – to it, which will air tonight, Monday, July 27 at 10 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Griffin visits Melissa Etheridge and is crowned “Norma Gay.”  She talks to gay youth and tries to convince them to be activists. But the best part of the episode is watching her roam around a suburban neighborhood explaining to skeptics that the next time it comes up for a vote, they should be in favor of gay marriage.

(Unfortunately, she’s a bit murky with the facts – she tells one African-American woman that domestic partner rights are not equivalent to marriage in California. She says that gays and lesbians miss out on 1,000 + rights. This is not quite true. Domestic partnership is essentially equivalent to state marriage in California – there are differences, some significant, but not nearly 1,000. What Griffin probably meant was that, should the Defense of Marriage Act be repealed, then the 18,000 gay California couples who are legally married will then get all the federal benefits of marriage – which indeed number over 1,000.)

Favorite scene? Griffin convincing a 90-year-old woman that she’s not agains gay marriage after all.

In any case, the episode is great – and worth sharing with friends and relatives who are not quite on board with equal marriage.
