Don't let equal rights for any American fall to the wayside. Gay rights are the hot ticket today, but what community will be targeted next? Protect all equality by supporting gay equality. Here are ten ways you can support gay rights:

  1. Register To Vote!
    The best way to tell our government how you feel is to vote! Be sure to update your address if you are registered to vote or sign up if you are not.

  2. Sign a Petition for Same-Sex Marriage
    Your single signature may at first seem irrelevant, but among millions change happens.

  3. Write Your State Senator or Representative
    Your State Senators and Representatives were elected by you and act on your behalf. Let them know how you feel.

  4. Contact the White House
    The Bush Administration opposes equal gay rights. Send letters supporting gay equality directly to our leader. Let's keep the upper hand by expressing our opinions with respect and professionalism.
