Personalizing the Equal Marriage Message

Lisa Weiner-Mahfuz, Lesbian Rights Field Organizer, in National NOW Times explains strategy.

The committee decided that one of the best ways to move the country on the issue of equal marriage would be to collect stories from LGBT people and allies throughout the country on their personal experiences as committed couples, as well as the stories of friends and families who are affected by the inability to enjoy the recognition and the benefits of civil marriage. These stories will be included in future NOW publications and on the web site. Equal Marriage feminist products have also been developed and incorporated in the NOW products catalog, to expand the campaign's visibility.
