WHAT WOULD BE the best early holiday gift ever? Saving our right to marry in California. We are in the fight of our generation to preserve the right to marry the person we love. Unfortunately, our community is just not doing enough.

I know that is hard to hear, but sometimes the truth hurts. 

The Yes on 8 Campaign, which would define marriage as between one man and one woman, has more than 60,000 donors, and has raised more than $30 million. Our side, No on 8, has half as many donors, about 30,000, and has raised $20 million. Since June 17, about 11,000 same-sex couples or 22,000 people have gotten married in California. The sad news is that many of these couples have not contributed to preserve the right to marry for others.   If each of these newlywed couples contributed $50 today, the No on 8 Campaign would have a much-needed additional $1 million to fight the purveyors of hate within our country.
