As part of our fight against California’s anti-marriage constitutional amendment, LHC is looking for singles and couples (gay, lesbian, and straight) to appear in a series of Public Service Announcements. These will be posted to the lovehonorcherish.org website, Youtube, FaceBook and MyspaceTV.com. We welcome all ages, ethnicities, races, etc.
If you (or someone you know) are interested in voicing your opinion (in your own words) on this very important issue, please contact Andrew Klayman (arklayman@yahoo.com) or Ted Williams (cmgsoon@hotmail.com) for further details.
We'll be shooting on Sunday, June 22, 2008 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm at:
PM ME FOR THE ADDRESS

If anyone knows anyone that would like to participate, please let me know.
So iSm and I signed up for the media committee, which does the website, among other things. Right now we're searching for a web designer who would be willing to donate some time to making the lovehonorcherish.org site more accessable -- or even making an animated logo from the existing one. Suggestions re: the website are welcome as well (obviously it just got plopped up there)... we just added blogging capability, etc. but the general design of the site needs to be re-done so that the regular page (and not the splash page) is the front.
Other things we have are business cards to hand out, t-shirts, etc. There are simply too many people who are complacent about this -- who either don't vote or who don't understand why gay people want to get married or why equality is important (there is a separate outreach committee that is handling speakers, etc. as well as a fundraising committee... as I mentioned above, a LoT house party might be a cool idea to do. I'm talking my parents into having one at their house as well).
I mean, think of it on these terms (this was discussed at the meeting)-- if, during the interracial marriage debate, you had a solution where if two people of the same race got married, it would be "marriage" and two people of different races got married, it would be a "transracial union". Silly, huh? Well that's what is going on here. Separate is not equal, and this marriage amendment is discriminatory. Gay marriage legitimizes gay relationships, and that is what supporters of this amendment DO NOT WANT.
Please get involved in some way, come to the next meeting (iSm will be there; I will be there every other Tuesday). Thanks for your support!
