Quote of the Day

Anything other than marriage is, in essence, a stigmatization of same-sex couples. Stigma does have negative impacts on people. That's the analysis that we've come to and why we've decided to support full marriage equality – because domestic partnership or civil union will still convey the message that same-sex couples are not as good.
