It’s Time to Go on Offense.
New “Fidelity” video from the Courage Campaign
From the Courage Campaign website:
The California Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Proposition 8 is extremely disappointing, but we don’t have time to mourn their failure to restore marriage equality to California.
It’s time to go on offense. To be fearless in our fight for equality.
Starting right now.
In response, the Courage Campaign will hit the California airwaves with a 60-second TV ad version of “Fidelity” — the heartbreaking online video viewed by more than 1.2 million people, making it the most-watched video ever in the history of California politics.
We are launching this provocative new TV ad in the spirit of Harvey Milk’s call to “come out, come out wherever you are” and proudly tell the stories of the people most affected by the passage of Prop 8 — in moving images set to the beat of Regina Spektor’s beautiful song.
Mark Morford wrote a response to the California Supreme Court’s unfortunate and sad ruling:
But these setbacks are not insurmountable roadblocks. They are merely obnoxious speed bumps on what social conservatives see as our nation’s ungodly highway to hell. They only slow us down a little.
A new campaign in the fight for marriage equality is already taking shape. Evolution is happening, the energy and momentum are unstoppable. Simply put, the ignorance and homophobia that fueled and funded Prop 8 in the first place will not stand.
Don’t believe it? Hey, just ask your kids.
Equality just makes sense. Hate and fear doesn’t. I support love.
so disappointing prop 8 was upheld…I have to believe it will change. And hopefully soon.
i support love too… such a simple word that does so much and is so hard for some.
