In the US, the Democratic Party's national convention is upon us, and while the Republicans, who had their convention last week, continue to oppose even the limited same-gender freedom to marry, the Democratic Party will be officially supporting the limited same-gender freedom to marry in their platform. Clearly, of the two major parties, the Democratic Party is more friendly to full marriage equality. This being an Presidential Election year, the platform and the party convention are especially important.
Democrats should stand up and say that every adult, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, race, or religion, should have the right to share marriage with any consenting adults. Now is the time for the party to stand up for full marriage equality, not just one limited freedom to marry at a time.
I humbly suggest calling for the adoption of the Marriage Equality Amendment.
Show solidarity so that every adult is free to marry the person(s) she or he loves."item"'>In the US, the Democratic Party's national convention is upon us, and while the Republicans, who had their convention last week, continue to oppose even the limited same-gender freedom to marry, the Democratic Party will be officially supporting the limited same-gender freedom to marry in their platform.
