Indiana State Medical Association Petition

Dr. Buffie, a well-respected physician and a leader in his field, is working to encourage the Indiana State Medical Association to take a public stand against discrimination directed towards people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, as such bias creates a risk to public health.

His research has found what so many understand innately—bias and discrimination lead to myriad health difficulties, while acceptance—both legal and social—is sound public heath policy leading to improving and saving lives.

Indiana Equality Action is asking you to support Dr. Buffie as he petitions the ISMA to endorse a resolution to publicly oppose future Indiana General Assembly efforts promoting HJR-6, and to support legislative efforts in support of nontraditional marriage.

To sign the petition, please select the appropriate link below.  

Next, help spread the word!  

1.    Forward this message to the physicians and health care professionals in your circle and ask for their support.
2.    Ask your friends and family members to sign the petition and forward it on to all those in their address books.
3.    Share this message widely through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets.

Please sign the PETITION by selecting the appropriate link:

When we speak and act in solidarity, we work together to create an Indiana where we can all live, work, and love free of bias and discrimination.

Thank you for embracing equality!

I agree that marriage should not be confined to man woman only. Gay's should have the same opturnity as every one else.

I am the father of two sons. Sons who have completed their university studies,are working in their chosen fields, married wonderful people, and our eldest now has twin girls.

Our eldest son is gay. Drew and his husband, like all married couples deserve the same rights and opportunities they had as single men. How can a country take rights away from its citizens?

I support the petition and efforts of Dr.Buffie.
