Rhode Island Supports Marriage Equality
Rhode Island is ahead of the national trend of growing support for marriage equality—a trend we’ve seen in a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll that showed 52 percent support for allowing same-sex couples access to legal marriage in this country.
In Rhode Island, the growth in support has been particularly strong and impressive because of the crucial grassroots work that the Rhode Island Marriage Coalition is doing almost every day: engaging their fellow Rhode Islanders in personal conversations about why loving, committed same-sex couples in this state need and deserve the protections and responsibilities of marriage. Additionally, Rhode Islanders have seen from their border states Massachusetts and Connecticut – along with other New England states – the joy that allowing same-sex couples to publicly affirm their love and commitment brings not only to those couples, but to the communities in which they live.
GLAD is a proud member organization of the Rhode Island Marriage Coalition (RIMC).
