Marriage, Equality and the Law

May 15 2007 - 7:00pm
May 15 2007 - 8:30pm



SANTA CRUZ, CA, April 26, 2007— The Santa Cruz Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is proud to present MARRIAGE, EQUALITY AND THE LAW, a community forum to be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 7pm at the First Congregational Church, 900 High St., Santa Cruz. Co-sponsors for this event are the First Congregational Church, The Diversity Center, and the GLBT Alliance of Santa Cruz.

Americans have deep convictions about marriage, and about equality before the law. More and more these days, however, these convictions appear to be in conflict. How can we honor and grant legal status to voluntary unions formed by people who love and undertake commitments to one another, without continuing to grant legal status to, and even institutionalize, the practice of discrimination?
