Editing Seth MacFarlane (section)

===Gay rights advocacy===
MacFarlane is a supporter of [[gay rights]]. In 2008, prior to the holding of the ''[[Obergefell v. Hodges]]'' case by the [[United States Supreme Court]], MacFarlane called it "infuriating and idiotic" that two gay partners "have to go through this fucking [[Dog and pony show|dog and pony act]] when they stop at a hotel and the guy behind the counter says, 'You want one room or two?'" He went on to say: "I'm incredibly passionate about my support for the [[LGBT community|gay community]] and what they're dealing with at this current point in time."<ref name=Advocate2>{{cite news|url=http://www.advocate.com/news/2008/01/25/bgf-seth-macfarlane|title=BGF: Seth MacFarlane|publisher=Advocate|author=Voss, Brandon|newspaper=Advocate.com|access-date=September 5, 2009|date=January 25, 2008|archive-date=August 23, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823102520/http://www.advocate.com/news/2008/01/25/bgf-seth-macfarlane|url-status=live}}</ref>
