The group that helped legalize gay marriage in two New England states wants to do the same in the other four by the year 2012.
GLAD - which stands for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders
- announced the campaign Tuesday, the fifth anniversary of the key
court decision legalizing gay marriage in Massachusetts. GLAD also
backed the case that led Connecticut to start allowing gay couples to
marry this month.
Executive Director Lee Swislow says that by using know-how and
experience from those fights, it wants to bring around Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island by 2012.
GLAD says it will work in the courts and with groups that support gay marriage in each of those states.
