The below is totally stolen from yezida 's LJ post : Two friends of mine are getting married on Sunday. Why on the Day of the Dead, you might ask? Well, we'll all be celebrating Samhain this...them joined with their requested wording (which I'll quote later).  And as I hold Elder ministerial credentials though Covenant of the Goddess I will officiate the certificate as Priestess and Witch.

Dear ACLU Supporter, I'm angry and heartsick about what may happen in California on November 4th. In the most personal way possible, I'm writing to ask you for a favor: help us ensure that gay couples...doing everything you can to help. It is a privilege and honor to have you as allies in this fight for dignity and equality. With enormous appreciation, Anthony D. Romero Executive Director ACLU

Bloggers take a video arguing for Proposition 8 and replace every instance of "same-sex marriage" with "interracial marriage". This is chillingly effective for a lot of reasons, but the thing that struck...used this exact same rhetoric against my marriage. In some parts of the country, they still do. It's frightening and it's maddening and it's wrong. So I stand against it, and will continue to do so

So I'm driving home after getting my flu shot, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a gaggle of "Yes on 8" demonstrators at all four corners of the intersection of Jeronimo and El Toro.  It...  If more people had called me on my shit back in my fundie days, maybe I wouldn't have stayed in so long.  Perhaps it's not to late to do the favor everyone was too "polite" and "tolerant" to do me

I continue to follow this story really closely and collect lots of links. Some recent interesting ones: The celebrity endorsements are starting to roll in. Two notable ones: Project Runway's Tim Gunn...receptions for my aunts; I'd really rather not have to make it a third. So I write, and I work, and I'll hope. And I'll cross my fingers that we'll have many reasons to celebrate on November 4th

"Yes on Prop 8" campaign threatens to "expose" businesses and individuals who donated money to the other side ProtectMarriage.com, the umbrella group behind a ballot initiative that would overturn...choose not to donate in like manner to ProtectMarriage.com but have given to Equality California will be published." Blackmail. Yeah, that's the way to convince people of the rightness of your cause

Okay, I haven't said a lot in my LJ about California's Proposition 8. (That's the one that would change the law to annul the various gay marriages already performed there, and prohibit any further ones...got it. But that doesn't change just how revolting the attitude behind it is. I've already donated extra to EC, in response to this bullshit. You can do the same here: https://secure.ga4.org/01/noon8
