Mayor Reed: Support Your LGBT Constituents
By Rick Infantino (Contact)
To be delivered to: Chuck Reed, Mayor
Petition Statement
Mayor Reed, I ask you to join the mayors of American cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Chicago and sign the “Mayors for the Freedom to Marry” pledge. Virtually all big-city mayors have stood up for the rights of their gay and lesbian citizens; won’t you do the same now?
Petition Background
Chuck Reed, mayor of San Jose, has previously declared his stance against LGBT rights and allied himself with right-wing evangelicals, threatening the separation of church and state. San Jose is the tenth largest city in the country, and its one million inhabitants reflect the rich diversity of the West Coast. We now call on Mayor Reed to join the vast majority of American big-city mayors, stand up for San Jose gays and lesbians and their allies, and reverse his stance on marriage equality by signing his name to the U.S. Conference of Mayors Resolution 46: Equality and Civil Rights for Gay and Lesbian Americans.
