Caroline Kennedy on Thursday became the 100,000th signer on Freedom to Marry’s Open Letter urging President Barack Obama to support marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples.
“Falling in love, getting married, and building a family is part of the American dream,” said Kennedy. “I believe that all Americans, including committed gay and lesbian couples, should have the opportunity to pursue that dream.”
Freedom to Marry’s “Say I Do” campaign was launched on March 14 with an Open Letter to the President signed by prominent Americans, including civil rights leaders, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, and business leaders.
