national freedom to marry week
february 10-16, 2008

The Foundation for Family and Marriage Equality is the Houston social justice organization committed to equality for families headed by GLBTQ couples. These families do not receive the same legal protections for themselves and their children as do other families. Our efforts culminate each year during National Freedom to Marry Week. We organize demonstrations, educational seminars, and Texas' largest same-sex wedding celebration! All of our events receive state and national attention, showing real people in real relationships that are honored by our friends, families, communities, and our many diverse faith traditions. Our government does not recognize our relationships or our rights. We will continue our efforts until all GLBTQ people are allowed to love freely, protect their families, and share the same civil rights, protections and dignity afforded by marriage.

There are many ways to learn more about upcoming activities: explore this website, email us, or join the Family and Marriage Equality Yahoo group.

"A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages." -- Coretta Scott King, March 24, 2004, USA Today
