Dear President Obama.

While fighting for the abolition of slavery, one politician qualified his stance, “I have never been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.”

That politician was Abraham Lincoln. Obviously time and experience brought Mr Lincoln to what would have been called the extremist view; that freedom cannot be compromised just to appease the majority.
And so he made a grander gesture reminding us of “…a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”. Passing a law would change the course of slavery, but those words changed the course of the history.

Dear Friend of Lambda Legal,

In two weeks, the California Supreme Court will hear a very important oral argument as LGBT legal organizations including Lambda Legal, NCLR and the ACLU fight in court to protect the California Constitution and the fundamental freedom to marry. While this courageous legal team represents our interests in court, we can all play a part in making the case for equality. We need to start talking.

We know that what changes hearts and minds and builds support for equality is having personal conversations that convey what it’s like to be LGBT, and why equality — particularly marriage equality — is so important.

Today we are asking you to tell three people about equality. It’s that simple. Whether you’re LGBT or straight, just start talking. Tell three people about what it means to be LGBT, or to care about someone who is. A group of LGBT organizations have come together to offer tips and information to help you start these conversations and a place to share your stories.

And we want to talk with you: Immediately after the oral argument on March 5, we will be hosting a telephone briefing for Lambda Legal members so that you can be among the first to know what happened inside the courtroom.

Join us on March 5 at 3 pm PST (6 pm EST) for a conversation about the oral argument in the Strauss v. Horton case challenging the validity of Prop 8 in California. Jenny Pizer, Lambda Legal’s National Marriage Project Director, and our Legal Director Jon Davidson will brief you on the “what” and the “why” as they discuss the latest developments in the case. Save the date — more information will follow about how to join the call!

Lambda Legal fights for LGBT equality in the courts, and your personal conversations outside of the courtroom are just as important to protecting love, liberty and equality for all LGBT people. Let’s get talking!

All best,

Kevin Cathcart
Executive Director
Lambda Legal

That’s kinda’ like saying that my being gay is going to make Aardvarks stop eating ants or hornets to not sting again. It’s impossible. Aardvarks, and ants… birds and bees will never stop their nature. They cannot. It’s what they do. The same, I am quite certain, applies to heterosexual human beings.

MADISON, Wis. – Same-sex couples could form domestic partnerships and receive dozens of the same legal benefits as married people under a proposal by Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle.

Supporters say it’s a step forward for gay and lesbian couples who would get the right to visit one another in hospitals, make each other’s end-of-life decisions and inherit their partner’s homes and cars.

But critics question whether the plan conflicts with a state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. One conservative group promised a lawsuit if it is approved.

Wisconsin would become the ninth state to offer same-sex couples protections through domestic partnerships or civil unions, according to gay rights groups. Two states allow gay marriage, while Wisconsin and 28 others have constitutional amendments banning it.

Researchers estimated 1,400 to 5,000 same-sex couples would register their relationships at county clerks offices in the first year. That’s based on other states’ experiences and U.S. Census Bureau data showing about 14,000 same-sex couples in Wisconsin.

Along with the inheritance and hospital protections, partners would qualify for medical leave from work to care for each other and not have to testify against each other in court.
