Today, Thursday, February 12, 2009 is National Freedom to Marry Day. At local marriage counters in cities all over the country, same-sex couples will request marriage licenses from their local County Clerkâs Offices to raise awareness for gay marriage equality.
This annual national event is hosted by Marriage Equality USA (MEUSA) and this year they are partnering with Join the Impact to make this their largest Marriage Counter Action yet.
