Big victory for marriage equality in DC! Today the DC Court of Appeals ruled against foes of DC marriage equality who had wanted to put an initiative on the ballot to invalidate same-sex marriages entered into in the District.

By now you’ve heard about the Texas Republican Party’s outrageous platform, which says gays shouldn’t have custody of children and same-sex marriage should be punishable with jail time. Over 65,000 people have signed our petition asking RNC Chairman Michael Steele to reject this hateful rhetoric – but it’s been 22 days and still no answer. Let’s see if we can hit 75,000 – spread the word on Facebook or Twitter now!

The right wing will do whatever it can to stop our fight for fairness at every turn. HRC’s monthly donors know what it takes to keep the fight going – whether it’s advocating for the basic rights of same-sex couples from New York to Hawaii, countering the activities of extreme groups like the National Organization for Marriage, or electing pro-equality lawmakers. Give us the strength we need to pursue this campaign on all fronts by becoming an HRC Partner today.
