These are our straight next-door neighbors and great friends Jenne Pierce and Jim Verhaeghe. Jenne was out pounding the pavement for R-74 until she went into labor on election night. Thank you both for your support. You are both amazing friends and advocates for the LGBT community.—Kathleen and Lory

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM.
We are LGBT people who want to thank the straight people who helped us win marriage equality in Maine, Maryland, and Washington state, and who helped us defeat an anti-gay marriage amendment in Minnesota.
If you're a queer person whose straight friends worked hard to win marriage equality—worked phone banks, knocked on doors, spoke out, gave money—send us a photo and a couple of sentences about what your straight friends did. Click on SUBMIT, upload a photo, and thank your straight friends publicly!
If you're a straight person who worked for marriage equality… THANK YOU!
