as Andrew sullivan rightly says, marriage equality is the civil rights issue of our time

An anti-marriage equality ad, featuring Gavin Newsom, is making headway in California. The rights of many married couples are now in jeopardy. If you support marriage equality, please do what you can to talk to your friends and family members in California, or donate here for the No On 8 campaign. We're currently losing. And this is the most critical vote in the history of the civil rights movement of our time. With potentially historic levels of African-American voters in California, and with Palin rallying the extremist white Christianist right, the momentum has shifted. Please help.

My own defense of marriage equality specifically in California, "My Big Fat Straight Wedding", can be read here.
