As I write, people across the nation are gathering to stand in solidarity with the people of Maine, whose right to marriage equality was taken away by a majority vote yesterday.
As I watched the results come in late into the night, something became abundantly clear to me, we should never have to go to bed wondering if discrimination will be more legal in the morning.
If nothing else, today has taught us once again of the importance of achieving full and equal protection under the law for LGBT people. The Standing on the Side of Love campaign continued to work towards that goal this morning by delivering 8,262 of your signatures on the Petition for Full Equality to the members of Congress who will, tomorrow, begin to discuss the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We are still collecting signatures and will deliver them to decision makers each step along the march to full equality.
Thank you! Thank you for standing tall on this day, for standing on the side of love.
Love,
Adam
