Marriage Matters to Raeann
Does marriage matter to you too? Please join Raeann in signing the Freedom to Marry Pledge!
Marriage is the ultimate expression of commitment and responsibility to the person you love. It says "we're family" in a way that no other word can -- and there are many ways that only marriage can allow you protect and care for the people you love.
By signing this pledge, I am joining the thousands of Oregonians who support extending civil marriage to committed gay and lesbian couples.
I pledge to talk with friends and family about why marriage matters to all of us.

Marriage is very important to me because it is something that people do when they fall in love and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other. I also feel that anyone of any sex should have the right to get married. Who has the right to tell two people who are in love they can't get married because of their sex. I know I wouldn't want that taken from me so why should they.
