Senator Pryor: Support Marriage Equality
Senator Mark Pryor, please extend your support for marriage equality in the great state of Arkansas and around the nation. Marriage equality is becoming a major issue in the U.S. and the Democratic party must be unified in its stance against discrimination and bigotry.
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 around the country, especially in also conservative places like Arkansas, suffer the same treatment. With so many states taking action recently to advance marriage equality, the Democratic Party needs to make it clear that we support the right to marry in every state, support the right of citizens to feel their identity and orientation are valid.
