A TV commercial urging the passage of the marriage equality bill premiered
Tuesday in Rhode Island.
The 60-second commercial from the Rhode Island Marriage Coalition features
couples from a variety of backgrounds talking about what marriage means to
them.
“Today’s roll out is the next step in a broader strategic plan aimed at
raising awareness and building the wave of support necessary to achieve a
legislative victory this year,” said Martha Holt, Marriage Equality Rhode
Island board member, in a news release from the group. “The message of the
commercial, ‘It’s Time,’ reflects a belief shared by a majority of Rhode
Islanders – it’s time we live up to our founding principles and make
marriage equality the law for all Rhode Islanders.”
The Rhode Island senate judiciary committee will hold hearings on the
marriage equality bill, and proposals to ban marriage equality, on Thursday.
The house judiciary committee held a hearing on the marriage equality bill
last month and House Speaker Gordon Fox, who is gay, said he is pushing for
a vote in his chamber. |
