QuoteFrom now through December 31 the organization will work to ensure the enactment of a bill to codify the state high court's marriage decision in the law. Love Makes a Family will also lobby the state's congressional delegation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, advocate at the state level for the passage of a transgender non-discrimination bill, and document its strategies to share them with marriage equality groups in other states. The group will maintain a political action committee to work to elect pro-LGBT lawmakers to the state legislature.

Love Makes a Family originally formed to pass legislation to allow adoption by same-sex couples. Once that law passed in 2000 the organization turned its focus to marriage. Stanback will step down from Love Makes a Family on July 1, after nearly nine years with the organization.
