As the legislative session comes to an end, we are deeply disappointed that SB183, Domestic Partnerships sponsored by Senator Wirth and Representative Stewart, was tabled in the Senate Finance Committee this year.
However, we are pleased to have Senator McSorley introduce SB146, a bill to change marriage license forms to applicant 1 and applicant 2. We also defeated any legislation that would define marriage.
In order to give you all an opportunity to hear a debrief of this legislative session, please see below for the upcoming gatherings.

*When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice... 1967 Address to the SCLC, Dr. Martin Luther King
