Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese made the
following comment as extremists in Arizona filed a petition to put a
discriminatory constitutional amendment on the November ballot that
would deny domestic partner benefits to couples in the state and strip
cities that already offer these benefits the right to do so.
"The Arizona Constitution should protect citizens, not single out one
group for discrimination," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe
Solmonese. "Domestic partner benefits are widely supported and this
amendment would deny them this right in the very document that was
written to protect all Arizonans."
The Human Rights Campaign is a strong supporter of Arizona Together, the
coalition to fight the anti-domestic partnership amendment, and will
stand side-by-side with them to support their effort through November.
The Human Rights Campaign is committed to the coalition and has
contributed more than $100,000 to fight this initiative.
