We love seeing a legendary musician taking a stand for gay rights!
Bruce Springsteen has written a letter titled A Brief Statement From Bruce in which Springsteen declares his support for New Jersey’s gay marriage bill!
The bill will be voted on by the Senate on Thursday, and the cause sincerely needs all the support it can receive right now.
Writes Springsteen:
Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I’ve been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton.
I’ve long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that, ‘The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is — a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.’
I couldn’t agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now.
Thank you, Bruce!
