Fighting for Marriage provides information at your fingertips to fight back. Marriage for same-sex couples has captured the nation’s interest, bringing unprecedented attention to the struggle for equality for LGBT people. Reactive forces are now hard at work in virtually every state, seeking to exploit people’s fear of change in order to enact state constitutional amendments or statutes denying any sort of legal recognition for same-sex relationships.


Resources on this site:

  • social science evidence and information to help you make your case
  • legislative lobbying strategies
  • resources to help you do outreach to potential allies, including racial minorities, religious leaders, and conservative groups
  • sample op-ed pieces
  • ideas for action alerts and other community mobilization efforts
  • useful litigation briefs and court decisions
  • information on how national ACLU staff can help you

Because we expect marriage to be an important civil rights issue for years to come, this site is updated continuously. Please check back regularly for updates; we also encourage you to forward us any new resources that would be helpful in the fight for marriage.
