Faces InEquality

The goals of Faces InEquality:
* To create a community storyboard for members of the LGBTQ community to share with the world how they have been treated unjustly or differently because of their same-sex relationship is not recognized as a "marriage".
* To educate all people on the differences in protection of the law between a traditional marriage and a domestic partnership or civil union.
* To help keep members of the LGBTQ community abreast with the latest news regarding the movement toward achieving marriage equality.
* In short, we want the world to notice that, although they may not agree with gay marriage for religious or personal reasons, there are certain inalienable rights that are granted to all human beings which are being denied through the discriminatory laws and amendments that exist today.
