Jesse Tyler Ferguson: Best. Ffriend. Ever.

We’re naming Jesse Tyler Ferguson gay best friend of the summer.

If you love Modern Family (and who doesn’t), surely you love Jesse Tyler Ferguson, gay actor playing a gay dad, as much as I do. That’s one ginger who knows how to make anxiety look fun – a skill your humble correspondent would do well to emulate. JTF is a particular star around Friendfactor HQ for headlining our Best. Wedding Gift. Ever. campaign. His short video helped spread the word about marriage inequality in New York and encouraged everyone who has a stake in the issue – meaning everyone with a gay friend or loved one – to get involved. Plus, he is hilarious!

If you haven’t caught the video yet, I’m a little jealous… you’re about to experience something awesome for the first time, friend.

More on Jesse’s adorable awesomeness and the NY marriage victory after the jump!

Meet the Best. Wedding Gift. Ever. Raffle Winner: Jason Hatton!

Quick announcement: Thanks to everyone who entered our Best. Wedding Gift. Ever. raffle! It’s one of those rare raffles that everyone kind of wins, since all of our gay* friends in New York now have the freedom to marry the person they love! Success all around.

There’s only one blender autographed by Jesse Tyler Ferguson, though, so the winningest winner of all—the person who gets to blend with it!—is Jason Hatton from upstate New York.  Jason plans to celebrate the New York marriage victory by going to a Pat Benatar concert with his mother and a friend—and also by making smoothies in his new blender! His favorites are “mango or maybe strawberry flavored.”

Congratulations to Jason, and to New York! Keep the NYC momentum going by signing our Liberty Pledge here.
