Every American Deserves the Right to Marry
America came one step closer to achieving equal rights for all people when California declared that refusing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people the right to marry was unconstitutional. Since this remarkable day in LGBT history, many couples have been married and have shared in the experience of vowing to love and to cherish each other in front of their friends and families and for the first time in California, their marriage will be legal in the eyes of the law.
With every day that we celebrate this victory for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered couples, anti-LGBT have been working to deny benefits to LGBT couples on both state and federal levels. In order to make sure that ignorance and hate doesn’t win this battle over true equality for all Americans, the Human Rights Campaign has set up a petition with the hope of getting over 1 million names from people who believe in marriage equality for everyone.
The petition states:
“I do support the right of every American to marry, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples. I believe that marriage and other civil rights protections are essential to making all families safer and more secure.
By signing this petition, I agree to support efforts to make marriage equality a reality in our country, and to oppose any attempts to discriminate against LGBT couples and individuals.”
With 988,902 signatures so far, HRC needs more people to stand up for marriage equality. Sign the petition here.

Just signed, thanks for the link and blog post !
Getting married would be nice, but being single is not so bad, as long as you have good friends.
Great article. We’ve recently had a change in the laws in the UK and it’s provided plenty of people with happiness.
Keep up the good work !
Slowly but surely, we are gaining ground
I have signed the petition as well.
