+What is Project Right Side?

Ken Mehlman launched Project Right Side in November of 2012. The goal is to achieve LGBT equality. The project is a research and analysis nonprofit that hopes to further all aspects of the LGBT agenda politically in the coming years.

+What is Project Right Side?

Kenneth Mehlman has helped to raise millions for the marriage equality efforts in this year's election, and continues to do so. While states like Washington and New York now have legal gay marriage, there are still many states that are not even close to achieving this.

+Quote by Ken

"Of the 7,000 Republicans we surveyed, 73% support

employment nondiscrimination protections for gays and lesbians,"

Ken Mehlman explained. "61% support safe-schools protections (such as those signed into law by

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie) and 46% support allowing same-sex

couples to jointly file tax returns."

+Quote by Ken

Ken Mehlman stated that, "Conservatives don't need to change core convictions to

embrace the growing support for equal rights for gay Americans," he writes. "It is sufficient to recognize

the inherent conservatism in citizens' desire to marry, to be

judged on their work, and not to be singled out for higher taxes or

bullying at school."
