The 110 page bill would extend state laws that currently only apply to married couples to same-sex unions. Meanwhile, in New England, marriage equality is being actively pursued. In New Haven Connecticut, Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders or GLAD, already has two gay marriage victories in Connecticut and in Massachusetts: now the only two states where same-sex marriage is legal. However, GLAD is also  hoping to win equal marriage rights for the LGBTQ community in all 6 New England states by 2012 as part of its new initiative called the \u201c6 by 12\u201d strategy. GLAD\u2019s director of public affairs Carissa Cunningham, believes that this strategy could also help win the fight for marriage equality in California which is anything but over. In Los Angeles, more than 400 gay and lesbian activists gathered at the convention center last weekend for an Equality Summit &#8211; the goal of which was to organize a way to win back gay marriage rights. Activists also took time to review the mistakes of the past, such as the decision to hire political experts to lobby for gay rights instead of having the community personally move forward on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>GUESTS: Nancy Polikoff, Professor of Law at American University and an advocate for LGBT families for over 35 years, author of &#8220;Beyond (Straight &#038; Gay) Marriage,&#8221; Eileen Ma, Korean Immigrant Workers Alliance, Ned, Q-Team which is a Queer &#038; Trans Youth of Color Organizing collective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program In Seattle, Washington community members gathered on Wednesday as lawmakers announced hopes to expand the state&#8217;s domestic partnership law.
