Support Marriage Equality

Gavin-Newsom-Supreme-Court-.gif

By Gavin Newsom
Mayor
San Francisco


California has always been a place where traditional barriers of class, race, gender have been pushed aside by a spirit of equality and opportunity that says to all - no matter who you are, and no matter where you come from - "It Can Be Done."

In that spirit, yet one more barrier gave way when the California State Supreme Court ruled that all Californians - regardless of the traditional barrier of sexual orientation - have the right to marry.

This is an historic moment - both for California and our country. From this moment forward, there can be no going back.

The road ahead will be difficult. Despite today's historic ruling, the same groups that sponsored the 2000 California ballot measure that challenged marriage equality are getting closer to placing a measure on the November ballot that would write discrimination into our state Constitution. This effort would not only overturn laws granting the most basic rights to same-sex couples - it would effectively nullify today's Supreme Court ruling.

Stand up for Marriage Equality today. Sign the petition now.
