Hitler now? HITLER?! Enough is enough.

From No on 8 through Facebook:

We have successfully thwarted a coordinated cyber attack on the No on Prop 8 website. Fortunately, there was no breach in security and we are again able to accept contributions online.

As if that attack isn't outrageous enough, at a recent Prop 8 rally an official campaign spokesman actually compared the right of same-sex couples to marry to the rise of Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany. Watch the video:




This insanity needs to stop. Prop 8 needs to be defeated. It's wrong. It's unfair. The people supporting it are fanatical, intolerant and willing to do and say anything to eliminate our rights. Period.

We cannot let them succeed. Help us reach our goal of $3 million by Friday:

I know we can succeed. We have to.

In solidarity,

California Supreme Court Overturns Gay Marriage Ban

The California Supreme Court ruled today in favor of overturning a ban on same-sex marriages. The Court found California laws limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples violate the constitutional rights of same-sex couples.

The ruling was authored by Chief Justice Ronald George. A snippet from the 121-page majority opinion:

"In contrast to earlier times," the opinion reads, "our state now recognizes that an individual's capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation." More generally, "an individual's sexual orientation -- like a person's race or gender -- does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights," it says.

"In view of the substance and significance of the fundamental right to form a family relationship," the court concluded, "the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples."


Mazel tov, felicidades, best wishes and good luck to anyone out there in the Sister City ready to take the plunge. If you find yourselves in need of a Flower Grrrl, holla at a Doll --- I love a good wedding!
