Kansas

Kansas citizens fought against an anti-marriage state constitutional amendment on the 2005 ballot. Unluckily marriage discrimination was written into the state constitution, but as a result, people across the state came out and stood up for fairness and equality, and against people trying to justify discrimination in favor of religion. Kansans across the state continue to work towards overturning marriage discrimination and obtaining fairness for all families.
