Last week, Democratic Assembly Representatives and State Senators joined together to introduce a Constitutional Amendment that would repeal the prohibition on marriage equality in Wisconsin. I want to commend Rep. Jocasta Zamarripa and Sen. Tim Carpenter for their steadfast leadership on this issue. We stand at the precipice of a historic moment as we push for marriage equality in the state we love. My colleagues and I are introducing this bill because as went out across Wisconsin, we heard your voices which overwhelmingly said that the continued discrimination against our LGBT friends, family, and neighbors does not portray our values.
Marriage equality strengthens families, brings stability and validity to the children of same sex couples, and ties our communities together. I encourage those on the other side of the aisle to get behind this pro-family legislation. Our kids deserve to grow up feeling valued, and LGBT families deserve to be protected under the law.
This proposed constitutional amendment is about guaranteeing that every Wisconsinite has the freedom and liberty to love who they love. This bill will ensure that no Wisconsinite has privileges and rights that are denied to others. I am resolved to be a vocal champion for equality in our state until it is the law of the land.
Currently, 17 states have legalized same sex marriage and an October 2013 Marquette poll showed that a majority of Wisconsinites now support same-sex marriage.
Senator Chris Larson has started a petition to support this amendment. Add your voice to the 20,000 who have already signed by clicking HERE.
