Letter: Gay marriages are human rights issue

Sunday, Jan. 16, 2000 | 10:05 a.m.

My circle of friends include several gay couples -- they've all been in one monogamous relationship; one couple just celebrated 30 years together.

Just how does a marriage certificate between two loving people of the same sex threaten opposite sex marriage? Let's call the coalition's petition drive to make gay marriage unconstitutional in Nevada what it really is -- another thinly veiled attempt to deny basic human rights to a particular group in our society. Shame on Ziser, his coalition and his supporters.
