Gay-Straight Equality
Sign Now
As you may know, the Supreme Court of Vermont recently ruled that committed homosexual relationships should have the same rights and privileges afforded to married straight couples. For those of you who are hesitant please note is does not confer any "special rights", merely the same rights already conferred upon heterosexual couples. There are over 1,000 rights that come with marriage which are currently denied to gay couples including hospital visitation/medical decisions, rights of survivorship, filing joint tax returns, etc. This is a VERY important first step towards equality in America.
However, the Governor's office of Vermont has been BOMBARDED with phone calls by anti-gay individuals opposing the recent decision primarily fueled by the "Doctor" Laura radio program which gave out the phone number. A friend called the Governor's office, and spoke to the secretary, who was VERY nice but said that she was one of only a HANDFUL of callers who SUPPORT this huge step towards equal rights.

I am not gay myself, but I do have gay friends and I think that it is rediculous myself that they should be treated any differently than any straight person. If you truely love someone, reguardless if they are the same sex, they should have the same guide
