Focus:GLBT
Action Request:Petition
Location:United States

There is a new petition on The Petition Site titled "Separation of Church and State Regarding Marriage".
The focus is changing the legal terminology of all branches of all jurisdictions of the United States to eliminate the word "marriage" as a legal term and replace it with "civil union" in all instances, definitions and cases.  Since "marriage" is being defined by religious groups, using the term as a legal status effectively allows those groups to control an aspect of the government and deny the (quoting the U S Supreme Court) "basic civil right" to marry to some segments of the population.  The full argument is on the site.  Please read it and sign if you agree with the reasoning.  The more support it has, the better the chance the change can be made.

Thanks for caring about everyone's civil rights.
