Support Our Work

The marriage revolution continues across the country, with Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington D.C. allowing same-sex couples to wed.

We've seen huge progress in 6 x '12, GLAD's plan to bring marriage equality to all six New England states by 2012. And in March, 2009 we launched our campaign to end federal marriage discrimination by challenging DOMA, the so-called "Defense" of Marriage Act.

Please make a tax-deductible gift to GLAD today – and let's celebrate with a vow to keep the revolution moving forward.

Join the Celebration!

We invite all couples who have married in an equality state — Massachusetts (since May 17, 2004); Connecticut (since November 12, 2008), Iowa (since April 27, 2009), Vermont (since September, 2009), New Hampshire (since January, 2010), Washington D.C. (since March 3, 2010) or California (June 16, 2008 – November 4, 2008)* to help us show America what marriage equality looks like. U.S. couples who married in Canada are also welcome to submit a photo.
