The California Supreme Court decision upholding Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment prohibiting marriage equality for same-sex couples, is truly outrageous. The 6-1 decision closes the door on marriage equality in the state. While the decision is a set-back for LGBT residents in California, there is cause for hope among marriage equality supporters nationwide. Iowa, New Hampshire and Maine have granted marriage equality, and the District of Columbia recently voted to recognize same sex marriages.
The outrage we feel over this decision must be balanced by our resolve to do all that we can to secure justice and equality for lesbian and gay couples. You all know my mantra -- Don't Agonize, Organize!
