Our Work >
Marriage Equality in Massachusetts
Our top priority is and will always be protecting and promoting marriage equality in Massachusetts.
Marriage equality has been good for our Commonwealth: same-sex couples are for the first time treated equally under the law, families and children enjoy greater protections, communities are strengthened, and Massachusetts is a more welcoming place for gay and lesbian couples, their children, and their loved ones.
As the first state in the nation to give loving same-sex couples all of the rights and protections that come with legal marriage, we must always remain vigilant to preserve that right for generations to come.
Our Priorities
- Ensure that all of our members know where candidates for legislative office stand on issues of LGBT equality. Join our Volunteer Team
- Ensure that married same-sex couples and their families receive equal treatment in schools and other institutions and are depicted honestly and accurately by government, the media, and everywhere else. Join our Action Alert Team
- Repeal the antiquated 1913 law which unfairly discriminates against same-sex couples. Tell your legislator to repeal this law
- Pass H1710, the Equal Access to Civil Marriage Bill, which would put explicit recognition of the right of same-sex couples to marry into the state's marriage laws. Tell your legislator to support this bill
