New Hampshire Action Alert

Today, Thursday, March 12th, the House Judiciary Sub-Committee on marriage will hold meetings on bills that deal with marriage equality and LGBT equality. Please take action today to help advance this legislation.
HB436
Granting marriage equality to gays and lesbians.

Please Take Action and send a letter to the Judiciary Committee right now.
# Tell the committee that you want to end discrimination and the segregation of gay/lesbian families by passing HB 436 and marriage equality.
# Excluding gay/lesbian couples from marriage or segregating them with separate institutions, like civil unions — marks them and their children as less worthy than other citizens.
# Children of LGBTQ parents are harmed when their families do not receive equal respect and rights.
# HB436l upholds freedom of religion. This bill is about civil marriage, and leaves decisions about religious ceremonies to faith leaders.

HB415
This bill defines gender identity and expression and adds it to the list of classes of people protected from discrimination.
# Discrimination is always wrong.
# No one should be fired from their job or targeted for a “Hate Crime” due to their gender identity or expression.
# 13 States and Washington DC already have transgender inclusive laws.
# Youth and adults with transgender and gender variant parents deserve the protection that comes with having parents who are protected from discrimination.
Please Take Action and send a letter to the Judiciary Committee right now.
