Cindy McCain stars in a dramatic advocacy video that says the government's actions--including those supported by her husband, Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain--encourage anti-gay bullying in schools.
"Our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future," she says in the video, which features an ensemble of famous people speaking out against bullying. "They can't serve our country openly."
Other speakers chime in, denouncing the ban on gay marriage and gay adoption in some states.
Then, McCain asks: "Our government treats the LGBT community like second class citizens, why shouldn't they?"
