Oppose the marriage amendment

The Massachusetts State Supreme Court has ruled that it is unconstitutional to deny gay and lesbian couples the obligations and legal protections of marriage just because the person they'd be marrying is of the same gender. They did NOT say that Massachusetts has to issue marriage licenses. A "civil union" type of thing works too.

But some members of congress feel threatened by this, and want to create an amendment to the US Constitution defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Can you imagine if fifty years ago they had created an amendment banning marriage between blacks and whites?

Oppose Writing Intolerance into the U.S. Constitution by sending a fax, letter or email through the ACLU. The Constitution should be used to PROTECT freedom, not restrict it.
