Marriage Rights for the GLBT Community.

The Issue

It's very important for the GLBT Community, and myself, to get as many supporters and signatures for this petition because of their right for equality in the US.  The United States is supposed to be a "free country", but it's only "free" if the Christians get what they want. The right to control others. So as a community, we need to stand up for our rights.

After a five-hour debate Saturday night, the Minnesota House voted 70 to 62 to place a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage on the November 2012 ballot, allowing the people of the state to decide the fate of marriage equality. We need to stand up for our rights, fight back and say "We have the right and freedom to love whomever we want!"

It doesn't matter if you're gay, lesbian, bi, or transsexual. If you love somebody and you want to spend your life together, that's all that matters. And SHOULD be allowed. Sexual Orientation shouldn't determine if you should be allowed to love. Gender isn't the operative word. That's LOVE.
