Fight the religious right: Repeal Prop 8 and restore marriage equality to California
Sign the pledge to build the Marriage Equality Movement
The birth of a new Marriage Equality Movement -- the civil rights movement of the 21st Century -- is unfolding before our eyes.
Movements are visceral and popular, often borne of outrage and anger. What we are witnessing on the streets and online is a community of people who have come together to say: "These are our lives. This is our time. This is unacceptable." Organized from the bottom-up by thousands of ordinary people just like you in the last 48 hours, this people-powered phenomenon is exponentially growing by the minute, online and offline.
This is our moment to stand strong together -- gay and straight -- and say that we refuse to accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state constitution. Please show your support by pledging to support our campaign to repeal Prop 8 and restore marriage equality to California.
Please sign the pledge to repeal Prop 8 -- then forward this link to your friends.

The last verse, which she didn't sing is even more appropriate:
[Polly]
Old man sunshine listen you!
Never tell me dreams come true.
Just try it --
And I'll start a riot.
I'm certain
It's the final curtain.
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas,
Who tell you fate,
Supplies a mate --
It's all bananas!
They're writing songs of love,
But not for me:
A lucky star's above,
But not for me.
With love to lead the way,
I've found more skies of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee.
I was a fool to fail!
And get that way,
Heigh ho! Alas!
And also lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The mem'ry of his kiss...
It started of so swell,
This "let's pretend."
It all began so well,
But what an end!
The climax of a plot,
Should be the marriage knot,
But there's no knot for me.
Chino are you one of those ex-missionaries above?
Nah, but those are real former missionaries in the photo.
I'm a former missionary as well, but about 10 years older.
Chino:
How did you become a Mormon? Were you born into it?
Born into a line of Mormons that goes back to pioneer days ...

Guys there is a great LGBT civil rights organization called the Empowering Spirits Foundation. They are very creative in how they approach this hot topic issue of gay marriage, in that they engage in service oriented activities in communities typically opposed to equal rights to foster thought and change for LGBT equality.
A friend of mine told me about it and I thought it was a great, positive approach to the issue. We had so much fun at the last event and it was great to give back to the community. Plus it was great to converse with others on the other side of the table in a way that wasn't confrontational.
Anyway, this can be such a heated issue and I thought this was a unique approach.
