Marriage Amendment letter
Jul. 13th, 2004 09:20 amTomorrow is the vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment. Please everyone take the time to speak out against constitutional ratification of hate. Google your state senators and drop them a line (everyone has only two so it doesn't take long). Here is the letter I sent:
I am writing to urge you to vote against this constitutional amendment based on discrimination and intolerance. My partner and I celebrated our 12-year anniversary this month, yet some people think because we are gay that our bond is less meaningful than our heterosexual counterparts who have been together for significantly fewer years. We currently have no wish to formally marry, but should we decide to do so, it would be nice to have this freedom that heterosexuals so often take for granted. Since homosexuality is deemed immoral most vocally on religious grounds, passing this amendment would be a clear violation of separation of church and state. Please take these things into consideration and keep America "the land of the free" for everyone.
Thank you
Your Constituent
Elaine Adamcewicz
You can also go here to sign a petition. Thank you all for your support.
