Rhode Island House Judiciary Committee Marriage Bill Hearing 2013
GLAD is part of a broad coalition of LGBT advocates, clergy members, labor organizations, and civil rights leaders dedicated to achieving marriage equality in Rhode Island in 2013 - Rhode Islanders United for Marriage.
“GLAD is proud to take an active part in this history-making effort,” says Janson Wu, GLAD staff attorney. “We’re convinced that this year Rhode Island will join the other New England states in leading the nation toward marriage equality for all.”
Legislative leaders have committed to advancing the bill and grassroots supporters are already taking action across the state.
A House Judiciary Committee hearing on the marriage equality bill, HB 5015, will take place at the rise of the House on Tuesday January 15. Wu will present testimony on behalf of GLAD. His written testimony is available here.
