(Sorry to those of you who already got this in e-mail, but I think this is an important issue.)
What gives the government the right to say that a couple's love isn't equal to another couple's?
Who has the right to choose which unions are more or less worthy?
I don't think that love should be based on the color of someone's skin, or what grades they got in school, or what their hobbies are, or on their gender.
Love just is.
Proposition 8 is trying to divorce 18,000 loving couples who were legally married in California last year.
If you watch
this video, and feel the same way I do, please sign the letter.
Ken Starr -- and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund -- filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and attempting to forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, 2009, with a decision expected within the next 90 days. The Courage Campaign has created a video called "Fidelity," with the permission of musician Regina Spektor, that puts a face to those 18,000 couples and all loving, committed couples seeking full equality under the law. Please watch this heartbreaking video now. If you have the same reaction that I did, you can help spread the word by sharing it with your friends ASAP -- before the Valentine's Day deadline. The more people who see this video, the more people will understand the pain caused by Prop 8 and Ken Starr's shameful legal proceeding. After you watch the video, please join me and over 60,000 people who have signed a letter to the state Supreme Court, asking them to invalidate Prop 8 and reject Starr's case.
Thanks!
