(Boston \u2013 June 14, 2007) A statement from Rev. William Sinkford President, Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations<\/em> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s decision by Massachusetts lawmakers to defeat the marriage amendment is a cause for great rejoicing. On behalf of the Unitarian Universalist Association, I want to thank the legislators who did the right thing by preserving the Massachusetts Constitution and keeping our marriage laws free from discrimination. This decision makes a profound difference in the lives of thousands of couples and families in this state, and it shines as a beacon of hope for same-sex couples across the country. Marriage is a civil right.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
