And It Breaks My Heart
“Fidelity”: Don’t Divorce… from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.
As someone who’s seen so many friends, family and even my own husband suffer from the scars that divorce can leave behind, especially for children, I am completely enraged that our government would seek to split up so many loving families because of their own bigotry. It makes me so sick. Please, please sign this petition. It takes 10 seconds and could make a world of difference for so many.
I can’t imagine what hell it would be if a law was suddenly passed that divorced Trent and myself. How would I tell Lucy? How would I explain what was happening, that people didn’t believe in her dad and me and therefore we couldn’t be together? That people claimed “God” didn’t recognize our marriage?
In the same breath, I think, how will I tell her about what is happening in California? When she asks if I did anything, if I stood up for the right thing, would I say yes?
YOU can tell the Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8 and let loving, committed couples marry. Click here to sign the petition to the US Supreme Court, who will hear oral arguments on the unconstitutionality of Prop 8 on March 5. They will make a decision to either invalidate Prop 8 or divorce 36,000 people within 90 days.
And for those of you who say there are more important things to worry about than social issues (especially that person who told me no one will give a damn about the social issues in this country until the economy is fixed), I say, what kind of country are we trying to fix, if the rights of so many are taken away. If we had the greatest economy in the world, but no social conciousness, this country would be in horrible ruin. The US was built upon certain principals, and in the worst of financial times, it may be all we have.
Down with prop 8!!!!! Thanks for bringing attention to this, babe!

Thanks for posting this video and the website. I believe that if our government would focus more on well being of the citizens, then a lot of issues would begin to correct themselves.
Erin, that’s a great way to look at it. I agree!
