My thanks to the always-fabulous Kelly E for turning me on to the Courage Campaign and this video.
If you live in California (and depending on your politics), you may be interested in the Courage Campaign’s approach to grassroots organizing around state issues. But no matter where you live, if you opposed Proposition 8, then please be aware that Ken Starr has filed suit in California to defend the constitutionality of Prop 8 and to dissolve the more than 18,000 legal marriages that took place before Prop 8 took away the right to marry.
That’s so far beyond cruel I can’t even believe it. I don’t understand how people justify such things to themselves.
I’m sharing this video so that more people will be aware of this situation. The California Supreme Court hears arguments March 5. There is still time, if you choose, to sign the Courage Campaign’s letter to the Court, and to spread the word.
Look at these beautiful, happy people. There’s so much need for love in this hard world. Why would anyone wish to hurt people who are trying their best to put more love into their own lives and the lives of others?
Done. Why do people waste all that energy on fear and loathing when the could be spending it loving their own families?
I don’t know. It’s one of the great mysteries.
