Bozeman plays host to
Montana Pride 2011 this
weekend in cooperation with the Helena-based branch of the American Civil Liberties Union:
The ACLU was dealt a setback on April 19 when a Montana District Court judge ruled against us on our domestic partnership case. But the journey for fairness is far from over. Montana's Constitution guarantees the rights of privacy, dignity, pursuit of life's necessities, equal protection and due process. The goal of our lawsuit, Donaldson and Guggenheim v. State of Montana, is to see that same-sex couples are able to protect their families with the same kind of legal protections that opposite-sex couples are offered through marriage. Couples in the suit live and support their families in communities across the state, including Basin, Bozeman, Butte, Helena and Laurel. In September 2010, the Bozeman City Commission unanimously passed a resolution supporting our couples and our lawsuit. Thank you, Bozeman!
A dinner hosted by Montana ACLU supporting the lawsuit is being held tonight in Bozeman. Donations will be
accepted here.
