Seventeen states - CA, CT, DE, HI, IA, IL, ME, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, RI, VT, and WA - plus Washington, D.C. have the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. In UT, a federal judge has issued a ruling establishing the freedom to marry, and the decision is now stayed pending consideration by the appellate court.

Three states offer broad protections short of marriage. CO allows civil union, while OR and NV offer broad domestic partnership. WI has more limited domestic partnership.

With these advances, a record number of Americans live in states that recognize relationships between same-sex couples:

Over 38% of the U.S. population lives in a state that either has the freedom to marry or honors out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples.
Over 41% of the U.S. population lives in a state with either marriage or a broad legal status such as civil union or domestic partnership.
Over 43% of the U.S. population lives in a state that provides some form of protections for gay couples.

Now tell me why these people can do this marry stuff like this while two people, regardless of sex that truly love each other can't marry each other or have protection under the law?

Sign my petition and help in the victory over this great injustice.

We, the ones that signed this petition are in favor of same sex marriage and equal rights for all people. We call on the president of the United States of America to take action to either ban straight marriage or allow same sex couples to marry in all 50 states of the US and US territories.
