Hey, Where can I buy one of these hot callendars. As collectors’ items, they will probably appreciate better than my 401k.

Amazing that a civil issue passed by the courts of CA. is being fought by the religious wingnuts. where is the outrage ! where is the separation of church and state in California?we in delaware are rooting for y’all and have donated many times to fight on !!when do we get a break from these assholes and who will stand up to them !!whenever any new law is passed for the gay community we are instantly challenged by the religious crazies-since when does the government allow the church to run my life -and i m an athiest !!!!!!!!

I may not be from California, but I have many things to say.

There is nothing in any constitutional ammendment that gives the right of marriage. What there are in many state constitutions, is the definition of what marriage is. By defining marriage as “Man, woman only” it limits what marriage can be, it does not take away the right to marry. No one has the “Right” to be married.
If there was such a right, then while you’re on the street you could point to someone and tell them “You have to marry me; It’s my right as a U.S. citizen.”
Defining what marriage is wrong; No one can define love, why should marriage be any different?

Now that thats out of the way:
I’m just happy to see Pastors in favor of gay marriage! It’s nice to see some movement forward in a world that’s moving backwards.

Whoever wins; McCain, or Obama, we lose.

Please… let us do this. We need to win for the sake of equality. any amount will do especially when added up. Come on now, a little sacrifice wont hurt anyone. it is such a shame when there are 1million LGBT in the state and only 30,000 had donated.

If we cant do this maybe we really dont deserve such equality. I am sorry but it is really frustrating and so sad.

Imagine if there really was such thing as this so called man god. You know – that mean Arian God in the sky. OGM!!! He would be so PO’d with the religious zealots. These misguided freaks are wasting money on bigotry all while folks go to bed hungry. And let’s not forget the poor souls dying of AIDS in Africa. Wait a minute – the Arian God obviously doesn’t care or he with all his GREAT power would do something about it. I guess he is too busy with Mary J Blige and the rest of the entertainment freaks that believe their chosen ones.

If everyone affected by this proposition would donate time and money and talk to all their family and friends about this, there is no way we could lose.

My husband and I have donated both money and time to the no on 8 campaign, but I think the most effective thing we did recently was to send out a personal email message to every person in our address book to let them know how we would be personally hurt by prop 8. We were touched that so many people responded with kind words and vowed to vote no on 8 and spread the word. A few even went to the No on 8 website and donated money on our behalf.

If all of us did the same, it would have a huge impact on the election.

I am not even a California and from the east coast state of Maryland and I am more concerned about Prop 8 and its impact on the future likelihood of gay marriage in my state should it pass than some GLBT Californians are about it in their own state.

I predict it becoming substantially more difficult to gain one day gay marriage rights for Maryland should the huge and vastly influential state of California becomes encumbered with the passing into law of Proposition 8.

Come on, people, let’s step it up! We are being outspent by our opponents. My husband and I just made a donation to the No On 8 campaign. This is going to be close, and we can’t afford to lose. Our present and future families depend on this. Please make a contribution now, while you’re thinking about it.
