John --

Last weekend, I was proud to march in the Indianapolis Pride Parade. More than 50,000 people turned for the event, and it was wonderful to see so many Hoosiers celebrating equality. 

Equality was also in the news this week, when my friend Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend penned a powerful Op-Ed about his personal journey and the struggle for equal rights. 

Sadly, we’ve heard a lot about division and hatred in Indiana this year. But we know those aren’t Hoosier values. We know that Hoosiers stand for equality and fairness. 

And any day now, the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on whether or not the right to marry is a fundamental right for all Americans. This would be a huge and important step towards a world where acceptance is the norm. 

Will you stand with me and thousands of other Hoosiers and add your name calling for nationwide marriage equality?

Marriage equality is especially close to my own heart. In 2004, I voted against the Constitutional Amendment banning marriage equality. I'm proud of Hoosiers who are fighting to make sure our friends and neighbors are guaranteed equal rights. 

Equality isn't an issue that should fracture us, but rather one that should unite us as a community. As a nation, we're making slow but steady progress towards support for equal rights, but we have so much work ahead of us. 

It's disappointing that in many parts of Indiana, it is still legal for an employee to be fired for being gay. History could be made tomorrow in the Supreme Court, but real change will take all of us working together and demanding action. 

Make your voice heard: Stand with me and defend equality for all Americans.
