Same-sex relationships are once again under attack. Last month it was in Maine. Now, a second critical battle for equality has opened up on the other side of the country. Washington State’s important new domestic partnership law is being challenged.
Lambda Legal has joined more than 150 organizations — LGBT, faith-based, communities of color, seniors, labor and children’s organizations — who together are “Washington Families Standing Together,” the coalition that’s fighting to protect the newly enacted law.
Voters must approve Referendum-71 on November 3rd.
By slim margins, R-71 qualified for the Washington General Election ballot in November. In just a few weeks, state residents will be asked to vote on R-71, an antigay attempt to repeal the State’s domestic partnership expansion law that offers essential protections to registered same-sex couples.
With less than 60 days until the election, it is very important that the gay community gives as much support now as possible to protect same-sex relationships in Washington State.
Visit the Washington Families Standing Together website to learn how you can help to distribute Approve Ref-71 materials or donate to the cause.
