Senator Collins: Support Marriage Equality
Senator Collins, please extend your support for marriage equality so that you can join the precious few of your fellow Republican members of Congress who are on the right side of history. Show America that the Republican Party has the capacity to do real good, in the great state of Maine and everywhere else.
Why is this important?
My little brother came out to our family as transgender and gay a couple of years ago, and with us living in ultraconservative Utah I am constantly disappointed at the capacity for ignorance and discrimination in our state. I hate to think that people elsewhere in the country suffer the same treatment. With so many states taking action recently to advance marriage equality, the Republican Party needs to make it clear that they can support causes that will eventually pull through, support the right of citizens to feel their identity and orientation are valid.
