A Message About Love to the Courts

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

This is a really cool video from the Courage Campaign called "Don't Divorce ..." and features same-sex couples or friends of same-sex couples saying "don't divorce my friends, etc." It's supposedly a message to the state Supreme Court to invalidate Prop. 8. There's also an online petition for supporters to sign here.

The Supreme Court, of course, isn't going to be swayed by petitions and public sentiment. They're going to rule based on the law, and that's the most we can expect from them. Still, the online petition gives us something to do so that we can feel that we're affecting change. It's hard sitting by waiting for the court to decide, so by signing the online petition, it just demonstrates to the "court of public opinion" how many people are out there who supports us. So please watch the video, and then sign the online petition. (Oh, and don't forget to do it before the deadline ... Valentines Day.)

Make Your Position Known: Sign the Petition to Repeal Prop. 8

A list of signatures got us where we are in the first place (dang propositions). So how can a petition help, you ask? Really, not much. Signing a petition to repeal Prop. 8 in California isn't necessarily going to be recognized by the courts. So it's really just a symbolic measure, showing that there is a large group of people angry about this. Wanting something to do, maybe signing an online petition will help you feel like you're bringing about change. Click here to sign this petition.
