As a healthcare professional, I understand that extensive physiological and healthcare research has been conducted concerning Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) health. I also understand that these findings conclude that Marriage Equality would have a positive impact on this community.

I further understand that the following medical organizations have also extensively studied LGBT health and now endorse adoption rights and civil marriage for same-sex couples for the health of all of Americas families, including children, adults and seniors:

-American Academy of Pediatrics
-American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists
-American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, District IX
-American Psychiatric Association
-American Psychoanalytic Association
-California Psychiatric Association
-The American Psychological Association
-The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association

Finally, as a healthcare professional I understand and endorse Marriage Equality for gay male and lesbian couples in the state of California and across the entire United States.
