Just a few weeks ago, USA Today reported that efforts are underway in more than a dozen states to limit the ability of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals and same-sex couples to adopt. Last month, the so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment" - an amendment that would write discrimination against same-sex couples into our U.S. Constitution - was scheduled for a June vote.
There is no doubt: The right-wing extremists are back to their dirty political tricks in a critical election year and the rights and lives of GLBT families are at stake. Click here to help the Human Rights Campaign stop them. Personally, I'm sickened by these efforts to mobilize the extreme conservative vote. It's bad enough that they attack GLBT relationships and protections for those relationships, but it is truly appalling when they start to go after children in need of loving homes.
The good news is that, so far, we've stopped the attacks on families from gaining political steam. Even before the extremists had publicly emerged, we conducted polling to gauge how people felt about denying children in need homes with GLBT people. We learned that the public has little appetite for such draconian measures against our families.
Certainly these polling results have discouraged extremist efforts to move the adoption issue forward in the massive way they planned. We will continue to do additional polling in key states. However, ultra-conservative extremists are moving forward with their devastating plans. And you and I must stop them.
Your support today will mean the difference between winning and losing more of these battles in the states and nationally. The Human Rights Campaign state legislative and foundation teams have been monitoring the renewed attacks on our relationships and on our families for months.
We've been working non-stop with our state and national coalition partners to fight back. This work is expensive, it's time consuming, and it must be done. With your support we can shut down continued attacks on our families and needy children in the states and beyond. With your help, we can fund the fight to protect families. And, with you by our side, we can win.

I hope I can count on your support to help us protect GLBT families, and thank you for your continued commitment to the Human Rights Campaign
