Brenda and Carol

October 14, 2013 in News by Jasmine Beach-Ferrara

Brenda and Carol have spent 25 years together in a committed relationship and raised 2 kids. They seek the right to marry in their home state of North Carolina. On October 15 they will apply for a marriage license for the 4th time in Buncombe County as part of the WE DO Campaign.

Brenda and Carol remain hopeful about being granted a marriage license, saying “We are simply asking for the same rights that other straight couples in North Carolina enjoy. We are hopeful that Drew Reisinger, as the Buncombe County Register of Deeds, will consider approving our marriage license application in light of what has occurred in other states in regard to marriage equality.”

Please send Brenda and Carol a message of support here.

Two years ago this week, LGBT couples first applied for marriage licenses as part of  the WE DO Campaign. You can watch couples call for rights in this video, including Brenda and Carol.
