None are free until all are free. None are equal until all are equal.

We suffered through 18 months of conversations in Minnesota as we debated an amendment ot our constitution that would have limited marriage to one man and one woman. It was a divisive issue but through hard work and many many conversations the people of Minnesota said no to discrimination. AND we elected representatives that did not put civil rights issues up for majority vote. The next legislative session, with representatives that embrace equality we passed the freedom to marry legislation and now everyone in MN can get married. In Indiana why take a position that is clearly going in the wrong direction? I know I will never move back to the state of my birth if I can not be legally married to the man I love---which by the way we did get married in MN when the law changed.

Silence does not create a safe or respectful enviornment. There are ways to speak out for the rights of others while creating an open and respectful dialogue for people with all different viewpoints and beliefs.

I believe that this bill represents a waste of time energy and money. It only brings suffering to a segment of our society while expressing bigotry and hatred. It is shameful.

I grew up on Manchester's campus as a member of the Church of the Brethren. While the university may not have historically taken stances on political issues, I was under the impression that we were still a community that valued individual's rights. This is NOT acceptable.
I find your official stance of being noncommittal a deep, deep disappointment. I had thought you were a different type of school than that. I am actively communicating what you have chosen to do with as many as I know.

I can't sit by and let basic human rights be taken away for some. Will be voting against it should it make it to that point!

As the daughter of a former professor at Manchester Univ., I am distressed that my home state of Indiana would be a party to this change in the constitution.
