“Fidelity”: Don’t Divorce… from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.
On December 19, 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and seeking to nullify the marriages of 18,000 devoted same-sex couples solemnized before Prop 8 passed.
In my mind, it’s simple. People are people, we all deserve to live and be treated equally. Always. To find love, to marry, to work, to play.

We know that, ultimately, love will prevail, no matter how hard they try to fight it.
As Keith Olberman said in a previous postt regarding the passing of Prop 8:
If you voted for this Proposition or support those who did or the sentiment they expressed, I have some questions, because, truly, I do not understand. Why does this matter to you? What is it to you? In a time of impermanence and fly-by-night relationships, these people over here want the same chance at permanence and happiness that is your option. They don’t want to deny you yours. They don’t want to take anything away from you. They want what you want—a chance to be a little less alone in the world.
Thanks to Jason and his post Please Help Us for the heads up.
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend with the people you love. Whoever they are!
Absolutely right. Prop 8 should stand. Good for you for promoting it. Crossing my fingers they all get to stay together.

Thank you so much!!! Your support is much needed and appreciated.
And I think KJ, the first commenter to this post, made the same mistake that so many others unwittingly have made. Proposition 8 was very confusing from the get-go. Proposition 8 is the “restore marriage” proposition. Its passage made it illegal for same-gender couples to continue marrying in the state of California.
We’re trying to repeal it.
Thanks again!
