on the Rhode to equality

"Rhode Island is looking to become the next battleground for same-sex marriage.

Last week, bills were introduced in the Rhode Island House and Senate that call for legalizing “civil marriage” between people of the same gender.

Just two days prior, Rhode Island’s newly elected Governor Lincoln Chafee said in his inaugural address that the states  legislators needed to expeditiously legalize same-sex marriage, adding that Rhode Island needed to “catch up to her New England neighbors.’’

Chafee, a former Republican U.S. senator who became an independent in 2007, has been a longtime supporter of marriage equality.

Now, The National Organization for Marriage will be targeting Rhode Island voters with a new $100,000 advertising campaign, aimed at circumventing statutory efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in that state and appears to attack Chafee’s legitimacy as Governor" (in other words the National Organization for Marriage will try to keep her from legalizing same-sex marriage in Rhode Island).
