| Daniel,
Minutes ago, Judge Vaughn Walker lifted the stay on his court ruling that declared Prop 8 unconstitutional. Judge Walker ruled that Prop 8 will no longer be enforced as of August 18 at 5pm PST, making California the sixth state where same-sex couples are able to marry.
The American Foundation for Equal Rights filed the lawsuit on behalf of two couples, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier and Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, seeking the right to marry.
We couldn't have gotten this far without you.
Post the image below as your Facebook profile pic to tell your friends and family "I'm helping defeat Prop 8."
As we celebrate the decision overturning Prop 8, we know our fight is not over. The decision will be appealed. And anti-gay groups like the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) are doing everything they can to promote marriage discrimination against gay and lesbian couples.
In 21 cities across the country NOM has held "One Man, One Woman" events attacking gay families. Freedom to Marry teamed up with local, state, and national groups for the Summer for Marriage Tour to meet them at every stop. At virtually every location -- from Augusta, ME to Charleston, WV -- marriage supporters outnumbered anti-gay activists by an overwhelming margin.
Share the good news that LOVE + COMMITMENT = MARRIAGE with family and friends by sharing this story, along with your new icon, about the freedom to marry returning to California.
