Live Long and Marry

Jun 23, 2008 10:11

lady_ganesh and I have created livelongnmarry, a fandom fundraising auction for marriage equality. It went live today, and you may sign up now. Bidding opens July 1, and closes July 15.

Live Long and Marry will raise funds to fight the discriminatory anti-marriage bill which will be on the California, USA ballot in November. Right now same sex couples can legally marry in California. If this bill passes, it will legally destroy those marriages without the consent of the married couples.

Including George Takei's! Now that is just wrong. He and Brad deserve to have their love and commitment and responsibilities to their relationship legally safeguarded and acknowledged. And so do all other married couples.

You can help! Here's how you can:

1. Spread the word! Please publicize and link to the community.

2. Bid! Amazing goodies will be offered, such as fanfic, original fic, art, cookies, and much more! I'm working on getting some extra-exciting goods and services on offer, so keep checking that page. I will be offering fic and a professional critique.

3. Sell! Offer something you can give, and help raise money for a truly joyous cause. Detailed directions for making a selling post are in the user info. If you do, please announce it on your own LJ as well, so your friends will know you're offering something.

Thanks to musesfool, octopedingenue, astolat, lithium-doll, janni, sartorias, and kate_nepveu for their pre-launch advice and support.
