Gender Auditors: Will California Ban Same-Sex Marriage?
The Governator giveth, the Governator taketh away? Possibly, if Californians vote no on Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that would "eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry."
I've been impressed with California's progressive leadership on issues like same-sex marriage. It would be a major step in the wrong direction if Prop 8 passes, which is why Rick Jacobs and the Courage Campaign have put together this satirical piece, "Gender Auditors."
Take action on this issue at the Courage Campaign's site.
