Queer Action Rhode Island Makes Progress While Marriage Equality Rhode Island Fails [linked]

While Marriage Equality Rhode Island was turning up their noses at getting real life rights & benefits for the LGBT citizens of Rhode Island, Queer Action Rhode Island met with the conservative Republican governor and changed his mind. The governor now supports an "everything but (the word) marriage" comprehensive domestic partnerships policy our community fought so hard to have in the State of Washington. MERI did not want it if it did not have the word marriage, proving they are more concerned with the RITES of marriage than the RIGHTS of marriage. Shame on you MERI. Good going Queer Action!
