Freedom to Marry Week Feb 10-16
The organization Freedom to Marry today announces the launch of a dynamic new website at http://www.freedomtomarry.org/. The newly reorganized and more user-friendly website is designed to serve the nationwide civil rights movement aimed at ending the exclusion of same-sex couples and their families from marriage. It also provides a starting point for all Americans seeking to learn more about the latest news on marriage equality, and contains an archive of tools to help people find their voice on why marriage matters, how the denial of marriage harms children and our country, and how to achieve fairness for all families.
Freedom to Marry is the gay and non-gay partnership working to win marriage equality nationwide. Launched in 2003, Freedom to Marry is headed by Evan Wolfson, nationally recognized as a central “architect of the marriage equality movement.” Freedom to Marry guides and focuses this social justice movement on a nationwide level, serving as a strategy and support center for national, state, and local partners, a catalyst that drives and shapes the national debate on marriage equality, and an alliance-builder fostering support from non-gay allies.
”In 2008, as the freedom to marry continues to be the subject of debate and decision, we have the chance to help people push past their discomfort and continue moving toward inclusion,” said Wolfson.
