Fighting for Equality

On December 20, 2013, Federal Court Judge Robert Shelby found that Utah's Amendment 3, which prohibits same sex marriage was a law that currently denies "its gay and lesbian citizens their fundamental right to marry and, in so doing, demean the dignity of these same-sex couples for no rational reason".  This ruling allowed same-sex couples to marry until the Supreme Court on January 6, 2014 order a stay pending the outcome of the appeal filed by the Attorney General's Office. 

One December 23rd  Restore Our Humanity held an event at SLC City Hall celebrating the marriages, and the ruling.  Jeremy and I attended the amazing gathering.  The excitement, the hope, the love that was in the air that night is not something one can forget. 

While I am fairly confident when the case gets in front of the US Supreme Court ( this is inevitably the case because whoever loses in 1oth District will appeal to SCOTUS) they will rule as they did with the Prop 8 case, and overturn the ban, I can not stand quietly by and not act.  We've donated to the cause, and continue to attend rallies to show our support to those who just want the same rights as everyone else.
