Marriage Equality 101
Marriage Equality means nothing more or less than full and equal access to civil marriage rights for same-sex couples. We believe this access is a matter of faith; affirming the inherent worth and dignity of every person leads us to advocate equality for all people, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals, couples, and families. See below for more from leading Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender (BGLT) organizations.- National Black Justice
