March 3, 2005
-- Executive Committee unanimously
approves a resolution condemning all federal and state
marriage amendments and seemingly endorsing not only so-called
homosexual “marriage” but the entire political and social agenda of
homosexual and “transgender” activists.
-- The resolution stated in part:
“(T)hrough the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA), some
members of the U.S. Congress want to amend the U.S. Constitution to deny
important rights to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families,
such as the right to hospital visitation, inheritance, and health care
rights for partners. On
November 2, 2004, eleven states passed similar marriage amendments to
their state constitutions.
…The FMA and its state counterparts threaten
the rights of working people by creating an environment across the
nation that is hostile to the rights of domestic partners, regardless of
their sexual orientation.”
…The
AFL-CIO reiterates its longstanding support for the full inclusion and
equal rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the
workplace and in society.”
March 10, 2005 -- Pride at Work, the AFL-CIO's homosexual contingency group commends the passage of this resolution.
From their website: "The purpose of Pride At Work is to mobilize mutual support between the organized Labor Movement and the LGBT Community around organizing for social and economic justice."
June 3, 2005 -- a coalition letter condemning the March resolution is delivered to John Sweeney, President of the AFL-CIO. It is signed by a broad coalition of national and state organizations, legislators and union members.
