The group - some 260 national gay leaders - calls for a broader vision in gaining rights for gay families.

... While the document supports efforts to secure marriage equality for LGBT couples, it also states that "marriage is not the only worthy form of family or relationship, and it should not be legally and economically privileged above all others".

The signers say that "the struggle for marriage rights should be part of a larger effort to strengthen the stability and security of diverse households and families".

Human Rights Campaign spokesperson Jay Smith Brown <said>:

"By advancing domestic partner benefits in corporate America, it's not just same-sex couples, but also unmarried opposite-sex couples, who reap the rewards of workplace equality. In our work against the Federal Marriage Amendment, we underscored the tragic impact that amendments in various states have had on domestic violence laws concerning all unmarried relationships. In short, while work for marriage equality will continue, we also continue to work in other ways that bring needed protections and responsibilities to all families and GLBT individuals."
