Get Those Opinions Ready.  Civil Rights have moved from gender and race to the basic human rights this country was built on. In an age where children and teens make monre money then their parents, where technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and social acceptance is worth it $ dollar; why is the right to marry who you please or want still an issue? Get those opinions ready, I believe Americans are about to have a new CIVIL WAR!

This National non-profit organization and social movement, at the heart of which lies a simple pledge not to marry until Congress repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). DOMA denies over 1,000 federal rights associated with marriage – and not just joint tax filing. We’re talking about things like the right to visit one’s dying partner in the hospital and the $100,000 of compensation normally paid to the spouses of police officers who are killed in the line of duty.

Sign the pledge.

But it’s not just about marriage or civil rights – it’s about dignity. By wearing an Equality Ring and boycotting marriage, you’re showing the ultimate respect towards your friends who enter same-sex relationships. Wearing an Equality Ring allows you to show your support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights by symbolizing your commitment to boycott marriage. All too often, young LGBT and questioning teens look to friends and society for acceptance, and don’t find it. The Equality Ring helps create a safer and more accepting world for LGBT and questioning youth.

Wear the Equality Ring.

Equality Ring National Marriage Boycott is also a youth movement. NMB has over 30 branches at high schools and universities in over 10 states, and believes in the capacity of youth activism to empower the next generation of progressive leaders. By buying your Equality Ring in a donation package, you can support this movement beyond making the pledge itself. Join NMB in our sponsorship of The Trevor Project, a non-profit dedicated to reducing the high suicide rate among LGBT and questioning teens.

Your gift can make a difference. Donate.
