It's time for us to take action. If you believe that anyone should have the right to marry the person they want, regardless of gender, please take 5 minutes and write your senators and congresspersons. I have attached a letter addressed to CA Senators Feinstein and Boxer. Please download, add your name, address and signature line at the bottom, print, and mail it. The more that we share our concerns, the more that our representatives will begin to pay attention.
For those of you who do not believe in equal rights for all, I respect your beliefs-- and hope you'll move past this post if you're not interested in open discussion. In the end, we're all here looking to lead good productive loving lives... the passing of Prop 8 in California has no benefit that I can see.
The only silver lining in the prop is that it does not appear to forbit civil unions to be created for same sex couples. If it's 100% the same except for the name, then I'd be fine with that - of course, in the forms across the state that ask single, divorced, married - I'd check "married" - but baby steps...
This letter will hopefully make a point and might someday down the road help any couple who wishes the benefits of marriage. Thank you for taking time to stand up for equal rights! :)
