CONTACTING THE LEGAL MARRIAGE ALLIANCE

The Legal Marriage Alliance of Washington (LMA) was created in October 1995 to advocate for legal marriages for same-sex couples in the State of Washington. We have been very much involved in the history of the marriage equality issue in our state and continue to participate openly and actively in the public arena wherever this issue is raised. LMA's function is primarily educational, although we work closely with other community groups on political and other activities associated with our cause. LMA is a 501(C)(4) non-profit organization with no restriction on its political activities. LMA is well versed in the issues and can be a good resource for reporters and others who are researching marriage equality issues in depth.
