About
The Marriage Equality wiki is a compendium of online resources maintained for the purpose of supporting and furthering the cause of marriage equality under the law for all consenting adults, regardless of gender, gender identity or presentation, or sexual orientation. The specific purpose of this wiki is to organize web sites, online resources, discussion forums, multimedia content, and other materials into useful categories for public reference. LGBTQIs (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, queers, intersexes) and "straight allies" are encouraged to contribute to this wiki. Please feel free to use this wiki and the information therein -- (copy, borrow, edit, update, etc.) -- in order to support marriage equality for all.
More information is available at About. To contribute to or edit this wiki, please refer to Help.
