No on 8

I was a little bit ashamed when I read today that only about 30,000 people have donated money to the No on 8 campaign in California. Meanwhile, the lovely people of the Mormon church, the Knights of Columbus, and other conservative groups (you know, the ones who like to dictate how everyone should live) have raised about $18 million.

Marriage Equality is something I believe in, and although I have absolutely no faith that the people of America are intellectually or spiritually advanced enough to support this, I do believe that the people of California are capable of it. Unfortunately, not enough people know about the issue- or know the facts- because for the most part gays are apathetic, lazy, and think that we can just sit on our asses in our designer jeans and let a few activists in our community do all of the work. Oh- and could we also get some celebrities to not only foot the bill, but to get the word out as well? Thanks.

Listen people- it's going to take ALL OF US to defeat these neo-con bigots, and we're not going to do it by watching Desperate Housewives marathons. Every dollar counts, and every person who you personally talk to about the issue counts MORE. Email your friends in California, and then CALL THEM to talk about how it affects you, our economy, and the future of America.

Conservatives are targeting churches and getting their congregations to vote for hate, and take away a constitutional right to equality. The only way we're going to stop this is to get the word out.

One way you can help is by donating money in order to pay for TV ads. You can do this at either of these sites:

PLEASE get off your ass and do something- or don't bitch when you lose the right to marry.
