Sacred Life Sunday: Sacred Unions
my sign from seattle’s march for gay marriage rights, march ‘06
The only thing that has in any way tinged the joy of Obama’s victory, is the surprising and sorrowful win of Prop 8 in my birthplace, California. How a state that features both SF and LA managed to pass a proposition banning gay marriage is beyond me. But while the pundits argue about which sub-group’s vote got the win, many MANY others are working to reverse the decision.
If you live the U.S. you can be a part of seeking equity for members of the GLBT community, and in bring shalom to us all. Please consider particpating at Join the Impact, and wave a sign for me. And if you can’t make a local demonstration, make a statement on facebook, write a letter, distribute flyers, say a prayer. Let’s not forget the words of our new leader: Yes we can.

Love the sign.
I was writing the other day about this. My husband and I were married in California and we both believe that our marriage is now a bit less valid because our gay and lesbian friends can’t marry. All love is scared and we should treat it as such.
I quite agree with your post – we all need to work for this change. Blogging and lighting candles is not enough. Good on you for marching :-)

It is very sad about Prop 8. I hope the CA Supreme Court will overturn it.
I found your blog through the Expat Interview…I am off to work now, but I will definitely keep up with your blog…
Take care,
