While same-sex couples now have the right to marry in 35 states plus the District of Columbia, Smith tells Rolling Stone the fight isn’t nearly won.

“This video shows my dreams that one day gay men and women and transgendered men and women all over the world, like all our straight families and friends, will be able to get married under any roof, in any city, in any town, in any village, in any country,” wrote the singer. Smith echoed these sentiments in a Facebook post accompanying the video’s release.
