tC- S. H 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.
