Together for 53 years. Together for 5 years. Together for 24 years. Together for 25 years. Together for 12 years.
Marriage Matters.
They’re committed. So are we.
From coast to coast, millions of people and
hundreds of organizations are working to
protect gay and lesbian families by ending
their exclusion from marriage, with all its
protections, responsibilities and human
significance. This is happening in state
legislatures, in the media, in the courts, and
around millions of kitchen tables. Along the
way, there will be advances and setbacks,
but we will not stop until every American
family is treated fairly, with dignity and
equality under the law.
