Let me preface by sharing that Washington votes by mail so that referendum decision won’t be finalized for a few days.

Brandon Mitchell of Greenfield shares his optimism in response to President Obama’s affirmation of marriage equality. I cannot express the feelings […]
Today, the Board of the NAACP issued the following statement after voting to support marriage equality. The NAACP Constitution affirmatively states our objective to ensure the “political, educational, social and economic equality” of all people.
