WHY SUPPORT MARRIAGE?
“People of all walks of life, including gay and lesbian couples, want their children to live in a loving, stable, committed home and be protected under the law. The bill under consideration in the Legislature simply allows gay and lesbian couples to get a government-issued marriage license and includes important safeguards that ensure religious marriage would not be changed in any way. Clergy and religious authorities would never have to perform a marriage they did not agree with. Gay and lesbian couples have the same values as everyone else, like commitment and family. And like everyone else they want to be able to marry the person they love.”
