Summary

WASHINGTON, April 4 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, the National Stonewall Democrats (NSD) applauded Sen. Russ Feingold for announcing his support for marriage equality for all Americans. The Senator issued a statement today through his Senate office affirming his support for full marriage equality for same-sex couples.

"Senator Feingold understands that religious institutions should have the freedom to marry adherents according to their interpretation of their faith, and not the dictates of politicians. American families will be strengthened by tasking couples with the legal responsibilities that come through civil marriage," said Jo Wyrick, NSD interim executive director. "Americans are quickly moving towards full support for marriage equality, and we are seeing a new generation of Democrats emerge whose leadership will help turn that support into law."
