Million for Marriage
There are more than 1,000 federal protections and responsibilities denied to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender families because they cannot legally marry in this country. Here are just a few:
- ability to make decisions on a partner's behalf in a medical emergency.
petition for partner to immigrate.
- up to 12 weeks leave from work to care for a seriously ill partner or parent of a partner.
- parenting responsibilities of children brought into a family through birth, adoption, surrogacy or other means.
- ability to purchase continued health coverage for a domestic partner after the loss of a job.
All American families deserve the same protections. Check out the Million for Marriage page of Human Rights Watch and sign a petition to end the discrimination.
