100% of Rhode Island Senate Republicans Support Marriage Equality
This morning, the Rhode Island Senate Republican Caucus released a statement announcing unanimous support for S38, the bill that will extend marriage to loving same-sex couples:
We support Senate Bill 38 because it rightfully extends the civil aspects of marriage to all Rhode Islanders while protecting the freedom of religion our state was founded upon. Gay and lesbian couples deserve to be treated equally under the law, and at the same time churches, synagogues and mosques in our state must be free to exercise their faith and their sacraments as they see fit. This bill strikes the right balance and should be passed by the Senate.
The announcement comes on the day the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill. That vote is scheduled for 3 p.m. this afternoon.
