Marriage Equality for New York!
by director on Jun.02, 2009, under Freedom
In New York State, legislation has been proposed that would establish with certainty the legal ability of same-sex couples to have equal access to marriage rights. That’s something that’s guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America, which guarantees equal protection under the law. Still, even though New York State is a progressive state, it’s not certain that the marriage equality legislation will pass. Some backwards Democrats are joining Republicans in trying to deny equal rights.
The web site Marriage NY is working to organize citizens to mount a grassroots campaign to ensure marriage rights are respected, and all couples in New York, heterosexual and homosexual alike, have equal marriage rights.
It’s a project of the New York Civil Liberties Union. Thanks to them for their work on this subject.
Vermont Chooses Equality for Marriage
by director on Apr.07, 2009, under Freedom
In a decision that’s a victory for heterosexual couples as much as for homosexual couples, the House and Senate of Vermont have overturned the veto by Governor Jim Douglas of legislation legalizing marriage for same sex couples. People who have been family in deed can now be family in name as well, and have legal status as such.
Congratulations to Vermont Freedom to Marry, a group that has been working on this issue for a long time now.
For the rest of us, in states where inequality persists, let us remember that unless we are have equality, none of us have equality.
