Congress is about to vote on amending the U.S. Constitution to deny

Never before has our Constitution been amended to take away anyone's

Equality in marriage is the civil rights issue of our generation. We
can't let anyone, or any group, be singled out for discrimination based
on who they are or who they love.

Thank you.
