Repeal Proposition 8! For the Right to Marry Who You Choose!

CourageCampaign.org has released a video to fight for the repeal of California's Proposition 8, which took away the right of gays in that state to get married. Today, the California Supreme Court upheld the Prop. 8 initiative.

The video here speaks to the issue of allowing intolerance and denial of basic human rights to be a matter for popular vote. Either human rights are inalienable -- including by "popular" vote -- or they are not. While some are arguing the California Supreme Court's decision is much narrower than pro-Prop 8 supporters could hope for, making it a Pyrrhic victory of sorts for them, the fact that some 10% of the population does not have the same rights as the other 90% is horribly wrong, and must be rectified.
