To those of you who actually think gay marriage is a good thing...
Edited on Fri May-16-08 02:51 PM by cui bono

I challenge you to match my donation to the Human Rights Campaign California Marriage PAC.

I donated $50 yesterday so they can keep up the fight to make this decision stick, who can join me?

The California Supreme Court just handed down a favorable ruling on same-sex marriage. Meanwhile, our right-wing opponents are building a $10 million war chest for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in California. HRC is a partner of Equality for All, the coalition working to defeat the marriage ban.

HRC has set up a special fund – the HRC California Marriage PAC – to direct 100% of your contribution today to the fight against the anti-marriage ballot initiative in California. HRC is a member of Equality for All, the coalition working to defeat the marriage ban, and these funds will support the coalition's efforts.

Please donate generously today.

HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL!!!

p.s. If you can't donate, please k&r anyway. :hi:

4. I don't think it's a good thing.
I don't think it's a bad thing.
I think it's a thing.
And it's none of my business.

Why can't everybody just mind their own business?

7. We can't because people are being discriminated against and treated like inferior human beings.

Is that okay with you?

When a friend of yours is hurt do just mind your own business?

13. Let me rephrase...
If people would just mind their own fucking business, they wouldn't discriminate against others.
I thought that was clear.
Why should someone in Skokie care if you and your girlfriend get married?
It's none of MY business (unless you invite me to the wedding), why should it be some stranger's business?

I couldn't match but did gave what I could. If everyone gave just a couple of dollars, it would make a big difference.

17. Donated to the HRC PAC for CA Marriage Equality yesterday
and like you, hope that others will do so too. It doesn't matter how much or how little you donate, what matters is that you donate.

None of us are free when any one of us is oppressed.

No money to donate at this time. But I can certainly kick and rec.
