WATCH: Kristen Bell Speaks Out For Gay Marriage

Add Kristen Bell to the ever-growing list of celebrities and politicians speaking out in favor of marriage equality.

The "House of Lies" actress is the latest to film a video ad for the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Americans for Marriage Equality effort. "It breaks my heart to know that millions of gay Americans still can't marry the one they love, and I can," Bell, who will next be seen opposite Bradley Cooper in this summer's "Outrun," says in the new clip. "That makes no sense."

Milstein: Income Tax Filings and Civil Disobedience Gay and lesbian Americans are still forced, in many cases, to abide by laws and regulations that require them to hide their true identities and demean their lifestyles.

	Jane Fae: Men Giving Birth: Media Nonsense, Or an Opportunity to Raise Awareness of Trans Issues? Peter Martindale's central thesis was that recent froth in U.K. media about a transgender man having a baby was just that: froth. The man was really a woman; move along, nothing to see here.
