ACTION ALTERT: Ask Senators to vote NO on HB74 TODAY

A discriminatory proposal to void marriages and civil contracts performed in other states unless they are between “one man and one woman” will come before the Senate TODAY. Please take the time to email your Senator and ask them to vote NO on HB74 Validity of Marriages.

Extensive testimony in the federal court in Northern California found that the only reasons to oppose same-sex marriage were religious and moral. This bill violates the equal protection clause of both the Wyoming and U.S. Constitutions. HB74 would send a clear message of intolerance within Wyoming, and would limit Wyoming same-sex couple’s access to courts. This bill would also invalidate legally binding civil unions and marriages performed in other states. Take action NOW!!! Email your Senator TODAY.

ACTION ALERT: Help Us Kill HB74

The Conference Committee for HB74 – Validity of Marriages was originally scheduled for 8:45 am, but has been moved to 4:15 pm TODAY. Unfortunately, no testimony will be accepted at the hearing. Of the six members of the Conference Committee, three are original sponsors of the bill (Hicks, Nutting, Kroeker). If the Conference Committee acts fast, HB74 could be back in the House and Senate as early as Friday.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO KILL THIS BILL!!! We need to immediately get emails to the Representatives and Senators who we must hold in the “VOTE NO” camp on HB74. Below are the legislators who should be contacted right away. (To save everyone time, we won’t email the hard “yes” and hard “no” legislators – they aren’t budging on the issue.)

Legislators are busy individuals and may not have time to read lengthy emails, so please keep your message short and to-the-point. With you help, we can send a clear message that intolerance and discrimination have no place in the Equality State!
