Proposition 8 - The Latest Chapter

The Supreme Court in California has now heard their arguments regarding the possibility of overturning Proposition 8... According to insiders, the 'prognosis' isn't good, at least not for those of us who are hoping for the re-instatement of same-sex marriage equality in the Golden State. However, the Hope & Vision within the LGBT minority remains strong: we know without a doubt that, inevitably, equality will apply to us too. Time may be required; a generational shift may be required... but it is going to happen.

I am attaching a link to the blog of Kate Kendall - if you do not yet know who she is, I suggest taking time to get to know about her work. She is a pioneer, an activist and a patriot, and deserves our collective attention as well as our support. View her blog for more info:

Also, please consider joining me in donating to the National Center for Lesbian Rights: it has been their efforts that have made the headlines in California this past year. Each of us, throughout the nation, owes this organization our thanks. Here at Same Love, Same Rights and RainbowWeddingNetwork Magazine, we've offered an easy win-win fundraising opportunity: Purchase a $5 Same Love, Same Rights lapel pin... or a subscription to the nation's first-ever LGBT Wedding Magazine, and 15-20% will be contributed to the NCLR.

(Why only 15-20%, you may ask?... Our company is covering the production and shipping costs - we are donating all our profits on each sale to NCLR, but because we too work on behalf of Equality, we are retaining the base production cost on each item for our own use.)

THANK YOU for your own ongoing efforts on behalf of Marriage, Family and Adoption Rights for the LGBT community! As each of us continues everyday to live our vision of Equality, we do our part to bring that vision into being. Feel free to email me anytime with your comments; I look forward to hearing from you!
