Heard about the Marriage Amendment and voting NO?
The proposed amendment would forever limit the freedom to marry for committed, same-sex couples in our state.
67% of people with gay and lesbian friends VOTE NO if we talk to them about marriage.
This means that the single most important action you can take to defeat this hurtful amendment is to start conversations about the freedom to marry with your friends, family, and the people you see every day.
Start your conversation now! Please bring a friend.
Location: OGC 111 at 6 p.m.
