The short explanation of this alert was:
This week New York’s senior U.S. Senator – Charles Schumer – announced his support for marriage equality and for the full repeal of the so called “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA). As Vice Chair of the U.S. Senate's Democratic Conference, Senator Schumer is now the highest ranking member of the U.S. Senate to endorse marriage equality for our families.
When announcing his support, Senator Schumer said, “It’s time. Equality is something that has always been a hallmark of America and no group should be deprived of it. New York, which has always been at the forefront on issues of equality, is poised appropriately to take a lead on this issue.”
Click here to read our press release, where we thank Senator Schumer for his support for marriage equality and for the full repeal of DOMA.
We now need you to take a moment to thank Senator Schumer for his support for our community on these two very important issues. We often call on our elected officials to take positions on issues that are important to us, and we need to be sure that they know we appreciate what they’ve done once they’ve acted.
Senator Schumer’s support for marriage equality will be a significant help to our efforts to pass marriage legislation through the NYS Legislature this year. Please let him know how much you appreciate his support at this critical time.
