Upon
news that the draft Democratic platform contains strong support for
marriage equality, Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin issued
the following statement:
“Marriage equality has quickly become a mainstream American value and
it’s a sign of the times that the Democratic Party has included language
affirming the ability of gays and lesbians to marry in its draft
platform. We encourage the Platform Committee and the delegates to the
convention to adopt this strong statement that all loving and committed
American families deserve equal treatment.”
