Project 1138: Because separate still isn't equal

Project 1138 is designed to increase public awareness of the 1,138 federal marital benefits and protections denied to same-sex couples as the result of marriage inequality.

Are you aware of the 1138 federal rights denied to gay spouses?

Equality Forum has launched the Project 1138 website to create awareness about the 1138 benefits denied GLBT couples.

There are 1138 federal rights, benefits and privileges provided to married opposite sex couples that are denied to same-sex couples – even in states where same-sex marriage is legal.These include tax and military benefits, employment rights, family protections and access to federal benefits and services.

“Our nation treats same-sex couples as second-class citizens,” stated Malcolm Lazin, Executive Director, Equality Forum. “As the Black civil rights movement demonstrated, separate is not equal.”
