Right-wing extremists are at it again, even after the California Supreme Court determined that denying same-sex couples the right to mary is unconstitutional. These insane efforts are underway not only to enact a ban in California, but push a Constitutional ban at the Federal level. Whether it's concerning marriage, religion or any personal freedom, do we really want the Constitution define boundaries around any particular freedom and legislate discrimination within that freedom? You're able to practice whatever religion, as long as the service is with a priest and a congregation. THAT'S INSANE, RIGHT? The Constitution is there to protect our freedoms, not limit them. I believe that for California and Americans at large, the questions have to be asked: What damage does a same-sex couple getting married do to you? What are the social and economic benefits of having same-sex marriage in America? What are the impacts on gay youth and any youth with gay parents?
I just joined thousands of pro-LBGT Americans in showing my support for marriage equality for all. We are at a turning point in our nation's history and I'm hoping you'll join me in standing up against discrimination. Please sign the Million for Marriage petition and get us one name closer to showing that Americans overwhelmingly support marriage equality! As always, pass this along to at least ten of your friends and family.

I think that Wanda Sykes, a top notch comedian does it best in pointing out the ridiculousness of the argument against gay marriage. She's a bit of a potty mouth, but enjoy her "bit" after this message!
Every committed couple deserves to enjoy the privileges and responsibilities conferred by marriage. Add your name to the petition and be a part of the movement to fight for marriage equality for all.
Thank you!
