HRC Claims Record With “People’s Brief”

According to the Human Rights Campaign, their People’s Brief to the US Supreme Court has garnered over 207,000 signatures, a record for an amicus brief. HRC head Chad Griffin: “Each and every signature on this brief – more than 200,000 of them – is a piece of evidence that this country is ready for marriage equality. Through this historic document, the American people, LGBT and allies alike, are standing shoulder to shoulder to insist on fairness for all. Ultimately, this brief tells a simple truth – the Constitution cannot tolerate discrimination, and it’s time for all couples to be treated equally under the law.” The brief will be delivered to SCOTUS on Friday.
