Neat! Too often, politicians and others weasel out of doing the right thing because it is supposedly not politically smart. However, the study below shows that standing up for the equal marriage rights of same-sex couples IS the politically smart thing to do!
New Study Shows Pro-Marriage Legislators Win Elections
Contrary to some political expectations, voting to support the freedom to marry and opposing anti-marriage measures helps rather than hurts politicians, a new study Pro-Marriage Legislators Win Elections released by Freedom to Marry unequivocally shows.
For many years legislators across the country have voted on laws aimed at ending the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage. Others have been asked to vote on state constitutional amendments aimed at discriminating against same-sex couples and their children by denying them the freedom to marry and other legal protections. A review of all of these votes from 2005 to the present shows that legislators who vote to end marriage discrimination for same-sex couples are consistently re-elected.
