I Don't Want to See Wisconsin Legalize Bigotry

This is exactly what could happen if Wisconsin voters allow the constitutional ban on November 7th. It reads

"Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state."

Not only does this deny gay families the right to have a loving family, it also endangers legal protections now shared by all unmarried couples. I believe individuals in commited relationships should have the same rights as individuals who have filed the legal papers to be what the government calls "married". This amendment must be stopped. Wisconsin has a chance to show that we are progressive thinkers and refuse to follow the bigotry that other states followed.
Fair Wisconsin is the leading opponent to this bill. They have a wonderful website with ways that we can take action. There's less than 3 months.
