..to help our LGBT Friends and Family. Prop 8 in California seems lost in the national debate over the economy and McPalin v Obama that in California the Mormon Church of Utah is dumping Millions of dollars to take away a right that belongs to our LGBT Friends and Family
I am a happily married man for the last 20 years with two wonderful kids. Sure life has dealt me a blow or two but I have had a wonderful partner to help me along the way. We have raised our boys as we see fit. To love all and to hate nothing. The Idea that my partner could not have been there at the hospital for me when I awoke from surgery to hold my hand and help me through my pain and moments of self pity in the hospital and visa versa.
The Idea that my partner would have no health insurance right now as her job does not provide it as a benefit. Luckily because of me she does she is part of my "Spouse and Family" coverage.
That my partner would have to fight with the government over our children if I were to pass away unexpectedly and that she would not receive survivor benefits to finish raising our children.
The whole idea that anyone would want to legislate away this just because I'm not like them.... is beyond me.
Yes this is extreme but then again those in favor of prop 8 are extremist
Will these same people decide in the future that Marriage should be only reserved for White/Black male/female couples only
Will they ban marriages between Blacks and Whites, Hispanic and Whites how about Asian and Hispanics? Maybe Mexicans should not marry Puerto Ricans.
I'm Cuban and I had to over come my in-laws prejudice to marry my beautiful redhead love doll.(yes, just like Ricky and Lucy)
I know it was nothing compared to what our LGBT brothers and Sisters face every day. So please join me in coming out against prejudice please follow any one of these links and donate what you can and help keep the rights that our Gay brothers and sisters deserve in California and hopefully one day the nation.
So Yes I am Coming out and supporting by donating here or here
Come on folks if we can give to some far away district to defeat a Republican scum ball how about we donate to our LGBT Friends and Neighbors our co-workers and Brothers and Sisters.
After all if you are not a "Lilly White Mormon" you will be subject to prejudice too....
