The California Supreme Court has just confirmed what we all know in our hearts - that lesbians and gay men in California have every right to marry the person they love.
This is an historic moment - but there is a real threat to our joy looming in November. Anti-gay bigots are pushing to get a constitutional amendment on November's ballot to ban same-sex marriage. If approved, this amendment would overturn the Supreme Court's decision and send California into the dark ages in terms of equality.
We need to build momentum now to defeat this dangerous amendment. Please pledge to vote against a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, and then ask your friends to do the same. As we grow this movement we'll let the media know that Californians want marriage equality for all!
MY PLEDGE:
I support the rights of lesbians and gay men to marry, and I am thrilled by the California Supreme Court's decision to affirm this fundamental right. I pledge to vote NO on any constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in California. I will spread the word about this dangerous amendment and urge all of my friends to vote NO as well.
Sign Pledge
We signed the “Oppose Anti-Same Sex Marriage Constitutional Amendment” petition!

Love between two people is sacred and should be supported, no matter what sex the two people are.

People deserve the right to marry and have the benefits of married people. No matter what other people think. You cannot help who you fall in Love with. Same sex or not.

I am a gay man, a military veteran, and I have been in a relationship for nearly 10 years. When do we get to live the same American life as the rest of Americans?

I am grateful that people are opening their eyes and hearts to allow same sex marriage in California. I am a faithful Roman Catholic Christian who is proud to honor same sex marriage.

Because I write an environmental blog, I have repeatedly found that there is more and more pollution especially from plastics that leach hormone disruptors into our water supplies. That's why mother's are being asked to forego plastic nursing bottles. Bisphenol A is one such hormone disruptor found in plastic. The problem with it is that when heated, bisphenol A leaches out of the plastic 10 times more. Hormones are an integral part of a child's gene development. Over the past 5 years the government has found gender bender fish at a growing rate due to these types of hormone disruptors in our water supply. I have continually warned that we will find birds, and mammals to have the same effects sooner or later. People have been extremely ugly against homosexuality in this country, judging people unduly for something they have clearly been born with. Not at all Christian like. Some very upstanding homosexuals have been called abominations. I think the abomination is the pollution we're creating by our industrial processes that's affecting many many things. To point fingers and call very nice fellow human beings anything other than nice is wrong. I think in the very near future we're going to find man is the cause of a lot of the things he judges to be abominable. What a bunch of hypocrites we are.

Love is love. Fifty years from now, people will look back on homophobia and see the discrimination as clearly as we now view segregation in the old South.
