Dear Fellow Iowans:
As you know, same sex couples and families face unique challenges and experience barriers that our heterosexual neighbors often do not. Coming out as a same sex couple or family is part of what will make progress towards equality for our families in Iowa.
Along with the support of Lambda Legal, many Iowans are coming together to share their stories and help educate all Iowans about the challenges we face. We are currently seeking same sex couples (and everyone else) from all over Iowa to be a part of this educational campaign.
If you are part of a same sex couple, and have an interest in pursuing marriage equality, we would love to talk to you. Additionally, everyone else could help out by getting this information into the hands of every same sex couple they know in Iowa. The opportunities to educate and work for marriage equality will become very important in Iowa, as well as the rest of the country.
Same sex couples with an interest in marriage equality, feel free to give us a call or email so we can fill you in on some of the things going on and gather information about how you might be a part of it.
If you are unable to reach us, feel free to call or email RoiAnn Phillips or Roberto Tijerina at Lambda Legal (312-663-4413). They are wonderful people and have been very helpful in our efforts here in Iowa.
Thank you for your consideration and interest in marriage equality. With all of our wonderful stories, it's hard to imagine that equality isn't close at hand.
