Project 1138: Lauri and Celine

Lauri and Celine

My partner, Lauri, and I got married at sea on 2/14/1991. We had been together for 9 years at that time.....we got married at sea and had the signed document with the captain’s seal just in case it ever became legal! We remained together forever, until she died on 4/19/2005....and we are still together in spirit. I just can't imagine loving anyone else the same way we love each other. It does get lonely at times, but I have lots of really good friends to hang out with...and life is good.

What Is Project 1138?

Project 1138 is designed to increase public awareness of the 1,138 federal marital benefits and protections denied to same-sex couples as the result of marriage inequality.

How Did It Originate?

On September 5, 1996, Congressman Henry Hyde sent a request to the General Accounting Office of the United States. In it, he asked how many federal benefits were contingent on marital status. In response, the GAO identified 1,049 federal laws in which martial status applied. Click here to see the January 31, 1997 letter to Henry Hyde

In 2004, Senator Bill Frist asked the GAO to update this number. Due to changes in laws over the previous seven years, the number of federal benefits had increased to 1,138. Click here to see the 1138 benefits

Take Action Now

Project 1138 is calling on you and your loved ones to take action by asking your elected officials to repeal DOMA. You can do so by following these two steps below. The links below will route you to your Congressperson’s contact page.

STEP ONE:
Who represents you in Congress?
• Your U.S. Senator can be contacted here:http://bit.ly/Senators_1138
• Your Representative can be contacted here: http://bit.ly/Reps_1138

STEP TWO:
In the body section of the message, you are welcome to write your own message, but consider using this one below. Simply copy and paste into the main part of the message:

I'm writing you about something that is very important to me – marriage equality.

Unfortunately, most states in this country still do not allow lesbian and gay couples the right to marry and receive the same benefits as the rest of America. Couples who have made a personal commitment to each other deserve the cultural respect, social support, and legal responsibilities that come with marriage.

That's why I'm asking you, as my representative in Congress, to support the Respect for Marriage Act and repeal the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act.

Thank you.
