Harnessing Love’s Power
to Stop Oppression

Petition for Full Equality

Standing on the Side of Love is deeply committed to achieving full and equal protection under the law for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. We want to be able to say to lawmakers that we know, with certainty, that thousands of Americans share our passion for full equality. This petition will give us that certainty.

I stand on the side of love in support of full equality for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations.

I believe that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people deserve equal treatment in all matters of law, including the rights to marry, to adopt children and to serve openly in our country’s armed forces. Furthermore, our nation’s laws should protect everyone who faces violence, intimidation, and discrimination because of their identities.

In signing this petition, I am affirming the full humanity of all people. I am harnessing love’s power to stop oppression. I am honoring the spark of the divine in each and every person. I am pledging to uphold love as a guiding principle in my treatment of others.

I call on my lawmakers to do the same by providing full and equal protection under the law for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.
