February 14, 2007 Valentine’s Day Marriage License Counter Events
Join Marriage Equality USA as we demonstrate first-hand the discrimination that exists every day for same sex couples as a result of not having marriage equality. Join your local chapter in visiting your county clerk’s office to request a marriage license or to take a stand for marriage equality and ask your county clerk to recognize same-sex couples. Use this day to educate people at the clerk’s office about the 1,138 federal marriage rights same-sex couples and denied and the hundreds of state rights. It’s also nice to be able to give flowers or balloons to couples that can get married, while raising awareness of the marriage inequality that exists today and the importance of also recognizing and celebrating the love of committed same-sex couples.
