UPDATE: It's National Marriage Equality Day and our photo contest is underway! Take a creative photo showing how you're supporting marriage equality today and post it in our Contests section under our cover photo on our Facebook page http://facebook.com/
Read the brief list of rules before you start snapping. (Such as this photo must be taken today, you must be patronizing a LGBT-friendly business or donating to a marriage-equality nonprofit TODAY and your photo must creatively show you doing these things ... today!)
Your peers will be voting all week. Grand prize is $100 Amazon.com gift card and top 10 finalists will win $10 Starbucks gift cards. We can't wait to see what you come up with! Happy Marriage Equality Day!
In an effort to heighten awareness for all companies and nonprofits contributing to the fight for marriage equality, we’ve decided to rename August 7 as National Marriage Equality Day. EquallyWed.com asks that you spend your money wisely on this day, and every day. It’s important to be an informed consumer. RSVP on Facebook here and join the conversation.
This expansion of focus is the result of the direct encouragement of Starbucks Corporate Headquarters who wanted other equality-minded companies and organizations to share in the appreciation.
On Aug. 7, please share your photos with us on Twitter and Facebook of how you’re supporting the right of everyone to have their marriages legally recognized.
National nonprofit organizations fighting for LGBT equality that could use your support:
A partial list of national and international brands that support LGBT rights (feel free to add more in the comments):
For more information, please visit our Facebook event page. We also encourage you to read the HRC's Buyers Guide to learn more about the equality score of your favorite companies.
We've created a new Facebook page devoted to exclusively to the annual National Marriage Equality Day every August 7 so you can follow along throughout the year with updates exclusively about marriage equality (because our fabulous Equally Wed Facebook page is devoted to LGBTQ weddings, honeymoons and marriage equality).

MJ....Free speech is truly not the issue here. I personally have no problem with people stating their beliefs whether they agree with mine or not. The real issue lies in the actions which anti-gay marriage groups take to prevent a minority group from having equal rights. Actions do speak louder then words. I have no ill feelings toward you what so ever if you are against gay marriage. All I ask is that you not support measures which prevent the GLBT community from having the same rights you already have.

All you have to read is this regarding what the bible says about the issue. And it's not genetic...Satan is the great deceiver, the ultimate liar, and you sadly have been brain washed by his trickery. http://bible.org/article/homosexuality-christian-perspective
1. A male mates with a female for reproduction. Period.
2. Leviticus 18:22 says that homosexuality is a sin. The act, the practice, the lifestyle: NOT THE PERSON. God does not hate the person, but rather the sin. I've found plenty of references to this so to those asking where it is in the Bible, look it up! It's there.
3. If this mess is really all about health benefits and what have you, then fight it with your partners health insurance provider.
If BCBS, AETNA, or whomever they have wants to provide same sex couples benefits: knock yoursf out.
This crap needs to stop. It's just getting ridiculous. As for me, I say turn from your wicked ways. Same sex is NOT natural. Fight all you want. It is what it is, end of story.
Thanks for the list of GLBTI businesses, now I can shop their instead of at bigoted businesses who claim God belongs to them only. Can't wait for the SCOTUS rulings in the next year.
The original efforts to boycott have nothing to do with demonizing anyone, preventing free speech or starting any battles. Boycotting Chick fil A has everything to do with not having our hard-earned money going to a company that then donates a portion of that money to organizations whose sole purpose for existence is to prevent us from living our lives with equal rights. If you don't care who I do what I do with, why should I not be able to marry the consenting adult of my choice, regardless of gender?
Here is one place:
First Corinthians 7:2-3 says: "But because of immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband."
