Sen. Lisa Murkowski Endorses Marriage Equality

Republican senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has endorsed same-sex marriage, according to an op-ed posted to her Senate website Wednesday.

In the article, Murkowski recounts how an Alaskan same-sex couple, a military family with four adopted children, factored into her decision to come out in support of the cause. Witnessing the sacrifices of this couple and learning of the numerous ways the lack of legal recognition of their union could tear the family apart, Murkowski concluded, “This first-class Alaskan family still lives a second-class existence.” Read more »

With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to rule on gay marriage this month and France's recent decision to legalize same-sex unions, an Ipsos poll for Reuters showed that 52 percent of people in 16 nations favor full marriage equality for gays and 21 percent support legal recognition but not marriage.

A Faith Voice Weighing in on Marriage Equality

In a matter of hours or days, the U.S. Supreme Court will hand down pivotal decisions that address our country's most basic concepts of equality -- the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry and the right of already married gay and lesbian couples to receive the full range of federal benefits afforded to heterosexual married couples. During the coming robust public discussion about these legal decisions one thing is certain: The conservative Christian voices will be omnipresent in the media, perpetuating a false, one-size-fits-all impression of the faith perspective on LGBT issues.

How Marriage Equality Helps Fight HIV

Any day now, the Supreme Court is expected to release its decisions on Prop 8, California's ban on gay marriage, and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). We hope the justices do the right thing and strike down these unjust bans on same-sex marriage.
