It is my joy and privilege to announce that Friends for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Concerns (FLGBTQC) (http://flgbtqc.quaker.org/) has joined many other faith groups on a friend of the court brief filed yesterday by Kramer Levin in DeLeon v Perry, the Texas marriage equality case before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. (More info here: http://www.freedomtomarry.org/litigation/entry/texas.)
As with the other Kramer-Levin briefs we've signed on to, I highly
recommend reading this. It's easy to read, and brilliant. And
super-encouraging for people of faith, and people in faith communities,
who support marriage equality for same-sex couples -- and also who are working to prevent some faiths from being legally privileged over other.
You can read the brief here:
