Last week, the two were out shopping for a birthday gift for Jacobi's eight year old niece and hoped to find a doll wedding set.
But the only thing they could find was Ken and Barbie.

But when they got home the started lobbying the makers of Ken and Barbie, toy giant Mattel, asking the company to consider adding same-sex couples.
Their plan worked.
