Chris Donovan Applauds the President’s Call for Marriage Equality

Meriden, CT – Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives and Democratic Congressional Candidate Chris Donovan today released the following in response to President Obama’s interview with ABC News regarding same-sex marriage:

“President Barack Obama’s historic announcement of his support for marriage equality is a major, and welcome, step forward for the cause of equal rights. I am proud of the President’s willingness to address this important issue now, and I am even more proud that Connecticut has helped to lead the way in ensuring the civil rights of all of our residents.”

“Our work, however, is not complete until every American has the right to marry whomever they want, and DOMA is repealed and Connecticut families can travel anywhere in the United States, taking their civil rights with them. That is what I have fought for in Connecticut, and it’s what I will fight for in Congress.”
