Although no vote was taken in committee this year, support for same-sex marriage legislation continued to grow. In April, the Campaign for Marriage Equality, of which the ACLU is a member, drew hundreds of people to a State House rally in support of the legislation, sponsored by Rep. Art Handy and Sen. Rhoda Perry. Dozens of supporters, including ACLU Board member James Greer, also testified in support of the legislation at committee hearings. The progress being made on this controversial issue is cause for optimism.
