Miami, FL - Couples for Equality, a registered non-profit whose mission is to "share with the world the love and commitment of couples who have come together to show their support for all committed relationships," launches globally at Miami Beach Pride on Saturday, April 16th.

Couples for Equality� produces global, offline/"City Tour" events to showcase the love and commitment of couples standing side-by-side in support of all relationships, through photographs, written stories and videography. Materials submitted to the website and at events will be shared online to show that the love and commitment of all types of couples is to be valued, honored, and celebrated.

At Miami Beach Pride, Couples for Equality� will debut at the Legacy Couples reception honoring long-term, committed relationships, including a photo-shoot for all couples wishing to show support for the project.

Going forward, Couples for Equality� will syndicate its materials and gallery, partnering with organizations and not-for-profits who advocate similar values. Materials related to the Couples for Equality project is available to such organizations, websites, businesses and media outlets upon request.

Fellow cofounder Chip Arndt added: "It's exciting to launch a project that resonates above the political and religious fray that often divides families, loved ones, and communities. Couples for Equality� is about celebrating relationships in all their diversity."

Hearts and minds are often changed for the better through positive visual experiences.
