    Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)
    The purpose of this petition is to ask the United States Government to repeal the Defense of Marriage (DOMA) as it is unconstitutional.

    It does not allow everyone in the United States to be treated as equals. Sign here to have DOMA repealed.

    The ability to love is in a human being's very DNA. It shouldn't matter if we want to be with someone of a different race, religion or nationality. It should definitely not matter if its even someone of the same gender.

    Sign for the freedom to love!

    The next two are pretty similar.

    Federally legalize gay marriage
    Denying gay couples to wed is a violation of religious freedom; considering the fact that religious and civil marriages are different institutions. The biggest reason why gay couples are being denied to get married is because major religions regard homosexuality as a sin. Contrary to this, the First Amendment of the Constitution states that ‘an individual’s religious views or lack thereof must be protected.’ If gay couples decide to forego church weddings and instead, have a civil union, the government needs to adhere to their request.

    Provide a level economic field to the GLBT community by providing federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
    Recognition of same-sex marriage and civil unions is as much an economic issue as a civil rights issue.

    Federal recognition will allow same sex couples to file taxes jointly. It will allow them to avoid costly legal paperwork by giving partners legal standing even in states that do not offer same-sex marriage as an option.

    Federal recognition would allow federal employees to list their same-sex spouses for survivorship benefits under social security and military retirement. It will allow federal employees to provide insurance benefits to their same-sex spouses and the children of their spouses, as well.
