WELCOME

Welcome to Unmarried Equality, home of the blog of singles rights expert and
advocate Bella DePaulo! After 20 years of standing up for fairness and equal
treatment of all people regardless of marital status, Unmarried Equality has
transitioned away from being an active nonprofit organization. If you are
looking for research or are a member of the press looking for an expert on
unmarried people, please contact the Council on Contemporary Families. For
grassroots legal advocacy, contact the Woodhull Freedom Foundation. In addition
to Bella’s blog, the pages of this site will remain as an information resource
about unmarried issues, although not all pages will be actively updated. Thanks
for your many years of interest and support!

CHALLENGING A MARRIAGE ENTHUSIAST ON NPR

June 29, 2024

more and more people have let it be known that they want to be single at heart.
They want to fit the profile. That includes people in committed romantic
relationships […]


MARGINALIZING SINGLE WOMEN VOTERS COMES AT A COST TO CANDIDATES

April 1, 2024

Recently, I had the great honor of talking to Elisa Batista of UltraViolet about
the power and potential of single women, and of course my Single at Heart book.
In case you are not already familiar with the group, “UltraViolet is a powerful
and rapidly growing community of people mobilized to fight sexism and create […]


HOW FRIENDS CAN BE PROTECTED AND BENEFITTED IN THE LAW

March 3, 2024

In the US, hundreds of laws benefit and protect only people who are legally
married. Advocates of fairness for single people have proposed many ways in
which laws and policies could be reimagined to put unmarried Americans on equal
footing with married Americans. In an important new book, The Other Significant
Others: Reimagining Life with […]
