Protect your Rights: Fight marriage Protection Week

This week, October 12-18, 2003, has been declared Marriage Protection Week by President Bush. Ultra conservative and religious groups are trying to rally against same-sex marriage.

You can take action! Contact the Human Rights Campaign and send a message to your Congressional Representative.

Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund is taking a different approach. They have launched “Queer Eye to for the Straight Couple”. As a way to recognize the validity of gay and lesbian couples, long-term gay and lesbian couples are offering marriage advice to straight couples.
