We are in for a very long night on Tuesday. I only hope that - by early Wednesday morning - fairness and reason will prevail over bigotry and fear mongering. Write to Marry depicts the very best of the GLBT community. Its facilitators have every right to be very proud of this accomplishment.

Write to Marry depicts the very best of the GLBT community. Its facilitators have every right to be very proud of this accomplishment.

Even though I'm late, I'm submitting my blog anyway. Here's hoping for marriage equality for all of us!

We are American citizens by birth. We live in Pennsylvania where, after living together in Love for the past 32 years, we are still legal strangers. We are so grateful that NO amount of Californian or any American-style heterosupremacy can ever undo our Canadian marriage. A resounding majority vote of NO on this heterosexist Proposition 8 would preserve our California-recognized marriage. We know of NO self-respecting happily married American heterosexuals who would even stand for having their civil right of marriage being put up to a public vote without their rioting in the streets to stop it from getting this far! The concept of writing inhumane prejudice into a constitution feels completely unAmerican to us. This hate-inspired Proposition 8 looks simply immoral to this old married couple who were joined by a loving God 32 wonderful years ago.

Its time we wake up, and stop the hate, misunderstanding, as well as trying to take away rights of Americans. Funny we love America, but hate Americans. Hmm how Christian is that?

On Oct 1, 2008 my life partner Jesse Gonzalez and I were able to do in California what we could not do here in Texas . We are very happy to announce that after spending 20th year together as life partners we were married in San Francisco , CA . We fully understand that we still will not enjoy any of the benefits of our marriage here in Texas , but it is a start to help tear down another wall that we in the GLBT community face. “ California ’s Prop 8 would eliminate equal protections and put discrimination into California’s state constitution” There are forces in this great country of ours that believe that GLBT persons should not enjoy the same rights and protections under the law that they themselves enjoy. Jesse and I strongly believe that all laws should treat everyone equally. It is with that thought in mind that we ask you to help use defeat the California’s Prop 8 ballot measure. Please make a donation today. Your donation will help our GLBT Brothers and Sisters who one day may wish to marry the person that they love. Help is also needed to help defeat Florida ’s Amendment 2. Both of these ballot measures seek to ban gay marriages by changing these state Constitutions. The Florida Amendment would also ban Civil Unions and Domestic Partnership benefits for gay and lesbian couples in that state. We may live in Texas but we can help tear down walls and stop new walls of discrimination from being built in this great nation. Please make your donations today to defeat the California ballot measure at: NO to Prop 8 www.noonprop8.com Last, if you know people that live in California and or Florida please call them and ask that they VOTE NO on these ballot measures. Thank you for supporting equal protection for all. Kevin J Hoffman Please help defeat California ’s Prop 8.

This isn't just happening in California. For those of you in Arizona, please vote NO on Proposition 102 and for those of you in Florida, please vote NO on Amendment 2.
