Yesterday, four couples and Wyoming Equality filed the
first-ever challenge to Wyoming’s laws on marriage in the case of Courage v. Wyoming. While we are not
directly involved in this lawsuit, the ACLU of Wyoming stands in solidarity
with Wyoming Equality and the plaintiffs who are arguing that current law
violates the Wyoming’s Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and due
process.
Marriage is a unique, one-of-a-kind promise that
represents love, commitment and responsibility, and the ACLU of Wyoming
believes that LGBT people, like everyone else, should have the freedom to marry
the person they love. The ACLU is proud to have been part of the LGBT rights
movement since 1936 and we will continue to work alongside our partners until
the freedom to marry exists in every state.
