Gay rights in Yuma County take a proud step forward

  Yuma's The Amancio Project and The Yuma County Gay Rights Meetup recently met with other gay rights organizations around the state to discuss how to next proceed in light of the passage of Prop 102 in Arizona and similar issues across the United States.

  The passage of Proposition 102 created a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages in Arizona. As a result, the constitution now states a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.

  "It is not a matter of whether same-sex marriages are right or wrong, who cares?" said Michael H. Baughman, founder of The Amancio Project. "It is a matter of putting something into a constitution that denies people rights."See Gay rights in Yuma County take a proud step forward
