Respect for Marriage Act, 40 Meaningful Miles, Get Involved.
[link removed]
** Happy December, Friend.
------------------------------------------------------------
❤️ This December, The Trevor Project is celebrating the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act ([link removed]) , codifying federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriage into US law. This bipartisan effort affirms to LGBTQ young people that they are seen and valued at the federal level, and that they can love who they love with equal protection under the law the same as any of their peers, classmates, and friends.
Kasey Suffredini (he/him), Vice President of Advocacy and Government Affairs at The Trevor Project, released the following statement:
“Today demonstrates that the freedom to marry, like all LGBTQ issues, is about people, not politics. And when we work together to implement policies that support LGBTQ communities, we are collectively building a more affirming and accepting society for our LGBTQ friends, family members, and neighbors — and ultimately, all of us.”
