Dear friends,
Thanks for asking the Aruban parliament to open civil unions to same-sex couples.
Aruba is a small island with a population of only 120,000 people. If thousands of us speak up, it will make a huge impression on our parliament and show them that the world is watching.
Can you share our campaign and ask your friends and family to sign too? It only takes a few seconds and could make a huge difference:
Or, forward the email below. Thanks for going All Out!

Hi,
In the Caribbean, living as an openly gay person can be incredibly tough. In places like Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, many local LGBT Caribbeans have to live in fear every single day.
But a small island in the Caribbean is about to break that trend in a HUGE way.
This Monday, Aruba will vote on civil unions for same-sex couples. The bill was introduced by Desiree de Sousa-Croes, an openly gay Senator who married her same-sex partner in the Netherlands.
But religious leaders like Daniel Szpila, a Polish Catholic Priest, are running a vicious counter-campaign. For instance, Szpila said children of gay parents are destined to be handicapped, mentally disturbed, and emotionally deprived.
We need to stop this hate from influencing the vote. Thousands of signatures from around the world in favor of love and equality could convince decision-makers in Aruba.
