Last week, the Michigan Supreme Court declared that its constitutional amendment banning gay marriage also prohibits Michigan's public employers from offering domestic partner health insurance. (Read the entire 54-page opinion of the Michigan Supreme Court.) Even though we know Wisconsin is not Michigan, this horrendous judicial decision highlights our need to continue the fight for full equality for LGBT Wisconsinites and their families. We will be working with our legislative allies on securing domestic partner protections and benefits, and we will be calling on the legislative proponents of the Wisconsin marriage amendment to reaffirm the assurances they made during the campaign. We are prepared, with your help, to identify and target any who refuse to stand by their earlier words.

The Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) is a bill pending in the U.S. Congress that will grant equal rights to American citizens who are in committed same-sex relationships with foreign nationals.  On May 6, 7, and 8, a group of gay and lesbian families will travel to Washington D.C. to lobby Congress on UAFA. Please visit Immigration Equality’s UAFA Action Center and take a few minutes to demand equal immigration rights for LGBT people.  For same-sex couples affected by the immigration system, this legislation cannot come soon enough.  UAFA will pass, but together we will pass it sooner.  Take action now and help make it possible!
