Why are "pro-family" groups attacking these families?
So-called "pro-family" groups claim that providing basic protections to devoted same-sex couples would bring about "the end of society as we know it."
1 They even want to amend the U.S. Constitution to deny any legal protections for same-sex partners and their families.

We believe that ALL Americans, including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered Americans, deserve the rights, responsibilities, and privileges that come with civil marriage. We're taking our message to America with a campaign to counter the hateful, anti-gay propaganda of these "pro-family" groups. Each ad features the story of a committed family and the hardships they face without the protections available through civil marriage.
