Student Led National Marriage Boycott Gains Steam

The National Marriage Boycott is a student-driven movement to urge Congress to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). DOMA states that the federal government may not treat same-sex relationships as marriages for any purposes, limiting the rights and scope of same-sex marriages in states that allow them.

Participants boycott marriage by signing the online pledge, wearing an equality ring, vowing not to marry, and by organizing and recruiting new members. New chapters are being created weekly including ones being currently organized at UCLA, UCSB, Florida State University, San Diego High School, and Williams College.
