Background Information
Marriage Equality means nothing more or less than full and equal access to civil marriage rights for same-sex couples. We believe this access is a matter of faith; affirming the inherent worth and dignity of every person leads us to advocate equality for all people, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals, couples, and families.
