http://www.unmarried.org/marriage-boycott.htmlThe Marriage Boycott is a growing grassroots movement of different-sex couples who have decided not to marry until same-sex couples are allowed to legally marry in the United States (or in their own state). Since AtMP was founded in 1998, we've heard from many people who have chosen not to marry in solidarity with same-sex couples. Many had other reasons for choosing not to marry as well, but felt this was an important factor in their feelings about marriage.
Now, in the spring of 2004, with same-sex marriage in the headlines nearly every day, we've noticed a real increase in the number of emails and phone calls from people who are seriously considering boycotting marriage or who have already put their wedding plans on hold. For some, the issue is an intensely personal one: they may have had a heartfelt conversation with a friend or relative in a same-sex relationship about that person's deep desire to marry, but inability to do so. For others, the issue is a symbolic one about fairness and equality, particularly as the debate over the Federal Marriage Amendment heats up in this election year. If this is the civil rights struggle of the decade, could the Marriage Boycott be the equivalent of joining the Montgomery bus boycott?
