Am I Protected: Protect Domestic Partnerships In Washington State

http://amiprotected.org - Every day LGBT people face inequalities that just don't make sense, from small acts of discrimination to ones with tragic consequences. The hard reality is that you find out what rights you have when you need them the most. For many of us, that means that we have to ask ourselves, am I protected? Unfortunately, we have a long ways to go, and each and every one of us must do our part. Visit http://amiprotected.org.

Charlene Strong lost her partner Kate Fleming after a tragic flooding incident in Seattle in late 2006, and was nearly barred from seeing Fleming in her last moments of life. Strongs heart-wrenching testimony about the hospital ordeal helped prompt Washington State to pass domestic partnership protections for same-sex couples. The award-winning feature documentary "for my wife" chronicles Strongs journey through tragedy to activism.

Thank you and best of luck in getting the law on the statute book. I am pleased that you in Washington the power to vote YES to civil rights - unlike in Maine and last year in California where the pro-civil rights people have to vote NO.

I am sorry for your lost.

I am just blown away. The US embassy did not give me a visa for me to see my mother in law last year. I was devastated.

If you need any support I would like you to know that you can count on us!
