Stonewall Hails Support for Marriage Equality by Sen. Feingold; Wisconsin Democrat Urges Marriage Recognition for Same-Sex Couples

WASHINGTON, April 4 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, the National Stonewall Democrats (NSD) applauded Sen. Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record) for announcing his support for marriage equality for all Americans. The Senator issued a statement today through his Senate office affirming his support for full marriage equality for same-sex couples.

"Senator Feingold understands that religious institutions should have the freedom to marry adherents according to their interpretation of their faith, and not the dictates of politicians. American families will be strengthened by tasking couples with the legal responsibilities that come through civil marriage," said Jo Wyrick, NSD interim executive director. "Americans are quickly moving towards full support for marriage equality, and we are seeing a new generation of Democrats emerge whose leadership will help turn that support into law."

According to the statement issued by the office of Sen. Feingold, the senator expressed his support for marriage equality publicly for the first time this weekend at a town hall meeting in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. The statement also confirmed the senator's opposition to both the federal anti-marriage amendment and a similar amendment that will be placed before Wisconsin voters on a statewide ballot in November.

"As I said at the Kenosha County listening session, gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry and have access to the same rights, privileges and benefits that straight couples currently enjoy," said Sen. Feingold in his statement. "Denying people this basic American right is the kind of discrimination that has no place in our laws, especially in a progressive state like Wisconsin. The time has come to end this discrimination and the politics of divisiveness that has become part of this issue."

They never give up do they! It's always the same with these people! They take some marginalized perverted issue and being to bemoan the fact that this issue/group or whatever it is does not have the same rights & privileges as other Americans.

There can be no such thing as 'same sex marriage' as those three words are an 'oxymoron in progress'. I'd like for someone to clue me in on what the point is in having two men or two women living together as though they were man and wife. Outside of some perverted sex I see no point.

Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Anything else is a vile depraved perversion and should be banned from this nation. Leave it to Feingold to rant one about supporting perversion while the Mexican border is under full scale invasion.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
