NCLR attorney Maya Rupert ties marriage equality to support for all families
The National Center for Lesbian Rights Federal Policy Director, Maya Rupert, wrote a terrific blog post that appeared on the Huffington Post yesterday. "The fight for marriage equality is about fighting for equal recognition of all families," Rupert writes. "It's about combating the assumption that someone else can tell us what our families should look like." The piece highlights the common interest shared by both LGBT families and black families in protecting all family forms. Highly recommended read!
