FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 25, 2006
DignityUSA is Amici in Successful NJ Same-Sex Marriage Decision
Today the New Jersey Supreme Court held that committed same-sex couples
must be afforded on equal terms the same rights and benefits enjoyed by
opposite-sex couples under the civil marriage statutes. The name to be
given to the statutory scheme that provides full rights and benefits to
same-sex couples, whether marriage or some other term, is a matter left
to the democratic process.
DignityUSA is proud to have been an "Amici" signatory to an Amicus Brief
on behalf of the successful seven same-sex couples.
DignityUSA is the nation's foremost organization of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics, their families, friends and supporters. Founded in 1969, it is an independent nonprofit organization with members and chapters across the country. DignityUSA works for full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in the life of the Church and Society. www.dignityusa.org
