Witness to God’s Love: A Minute of Northern Yearly Meeting
Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)
May 29, 2006

Our experience confirms that all people are equal before God and equally loved by God. In witnessing the truth of God’s love to the wider community, we support full and equal inclusion of gays and lesbians in enjoying the rights and privileges afforded any citizen. We declare our opposition to the proposed amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution that would ban the legal recognition of same-sex marriages and civil unions of any kind. We further encourage our monthly meetings and worship groups, as well as individual Friends, to act to defeat this proposed amendment in Wisconsin, and similar amendments in other states.
