Don’t Divorce Us!
I am such a follower and not even a timely follower at that. I am sure that most of you have already seen (and cried during) this video done by the Courage Campaign but I have watched it several times and still cannot get over just how much this video touched me and wanted to share it with all of you. If you’ve seen it before, share your thoughts in the comment section and if you haven’t, you should most definitely watch it.
If you’ve been following recent “Prop 8 events” you know that on December 19. 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs seeking to invalidate the 18,000 same-sex marriages that were conducted between May and November in California.
On March 5, 2008, the California Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments that will decide the fate of Prop 8. The legal challenge of this ballot initiative is brought forth by groups like the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union.
While there is so much cruelty and hate in the world, are there really so many people out there who are offended by love? 18,000 couples publicly and lawfully committed their lives to each other in California between May and November. 18,000 couples were finally given a right that they should have been given so long ago. In a world with so much hate, 18,000 couples have found each other and simply want the same rights as other couples and to tell them that they are not worthy of that right is so completely backwards and fueled by nothing but ignorance and bigotry.
Go sign this petition and tell the Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8.
Lastly, I apologize for my absence from blogging but would really like to thank Renee of Womanist Musings for filling in the gap on here over the past few days.
