HRC Hails Landmark Decision As Latest Step Toward Full Equality

 
WASHINGTON - Today, the California Supreme Court reversed a lower court
decision and ruled that same-sex couples have the same right to marry as
opposite-sex couples under the state constitution.  The court ruled that it
is a violation of the state constitution to deny same-sex couples the right
to marry, and that providing rights to same-sex couples through a separate
system of domestic partnerships does not satisfy the state constitution.

"This is a historic day for the state of California, and a long-awaited day
for the plaintiffs in this case and their families," said Human Rights
Campaign President Joe Solmonese.  "The California Supreme Court has made
clear that same-sex couples in committed relationships and their families
deserve the same level of respect afforded to opposite-sex couples.  The
court did its job by ensuring that the state constitution provides the same
rights and protections for everyone.  This is a decision that strengthens
California families."  

Solmonese continued, "We congratulate and commend the National Center for
Lesbian Rights, Lambda Legal, the ACLU, Heller Ehrman, the Law Office of
David C. Codell, Equality California, Our Family Coalition and, of course,
the courageous plaintiff couples and their families who looked to the courts
to defend their rights."

Hello All,

Well we have moved the last box into our temporary location. We are excited about sharing space/co-locating with Equal Rights Washington while we restructure The Seattle LGBTQ Community Center. ( Now located  at 209 Harvard E.)

The Board of Directors has been working on our 2008-2011 business plan and we are now ready to start moving toward our realigned goals and expansion plans.

Why would you donate to The Seattle LGBTQ Community Center? Because at The Center we do make a difference in people’s lives. Your donations ensure that we can remain a place for those in need to find resources and help them when they need it.
