GALLA supports recognition of the legal right to marry for gays and lesbians


GALLA opposes any efforts:

• to amend the constitution for the sheer purpose of restricting legal rights to certain members of the population
• to restrict the ability of the individual states to legislate what they will recognize as marriage within their state borders
• to restrict the ability of individual states to recognize marriages from other states

GALLA believes:

• that to deny a right based on sexual orientation is a form of discrimination which should not be tolerated by any American
• that it is disappointing that the language once used to bar interracial marriage is now being evoked to discriminate against gays and lesbians
• that the separation of church and state, protected by the constitution, should be recognized in the fundamental right of marriage
• that legal and symbolic rights, granted by the recognition of marriage, are important enough to be fought for in the courts, debates, and streets of this country

GALLA opposes the proposed restriction of basic legal rights based on sexual orientation or expression.

To be honest we have a hard time getting anyone to do anything. There are 48 people on our mailing list, but our last meeting had 8 people and 3 the meeting before that. We're also just law focused, with a mission of camaraderie for our members (in a conservative law school) and presentation of issues to the student body.

We've had trouble having time/energy teaming with other law school gay orgs :(
