Target: California Registered Democrats
Region: United States of America
Petition Background (Preamble):
California Democrats have a long tradition of supporting civil rights for all individuals.
As such, Marriage Equality (same sex marriage) is a civil rights issue of which explicit support belongs in the California Democratic Party platform.
Other state Democratic Parties, such as Iowa and Massachusetts, explicitly state in their party platforms that they support equal marital rights for all consenting adults, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identification.
It is time for the California Democratic Party to add its commitment to marriage equality to the CDP Party Platform.
