From coast to coast, we are coming closer to
achieving true marriage equality for GLBT
Americans. But we need your help to fight
efforts to deny marriage rights to same-sex
couples, including any Constitutional amendment.
Please, sign the Million For Marriage petition
below, and be a part of this historic civil
rights battle. Gay, straight, married,
single...we need everyone who believes in
marriage equality to stand up NOW.
Tell your Senators that you oppose the
"Marriage Protection Amendment."
Domestic partner health care benefits are taxed,
while health care benefits for legally married
opposite-sex couples are not. Urge your Senators
to sign on to a bill that would end the unfair
taxation of domestic partner health care
benefits.
Scott Bloch at the Office of Special Counsel has
been refusing for two years to enforce
long-standing protections for federal workers
from discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation. Congress is considering legislation
to compel Mr. Bloch to enforce the law. Urge
your Representative to support this bill - and
if he refuses to do his job, urge Congress to
remove Mr. Bloch from office.
Send this message to Secretary of Education
Margaret Spellings to let her know you
disapprove of her intolerance. Urge her to
reconsider her comments.
On the heels of ending a failed boycott against
the Walt Disney Company, an anti-gay lobbying

because of its family- friendly policies.
Contact Ford today and let them know you
appreciate their support of the LGBT community!
