Rallying at Obama's fundraiser at the Beverly Hilton Tonight


On today's agenda for the Week of Equality, there will be a rally at the Beverly Hilton.

The reason: President Obama will be there and it suppose to be a support rally to "honor his promises" to us.

But let's be sure that we are supporting and encouraging Obama to stay on track, and not acting like the teabaggers from the Tea Party foolery.

What happens tonight could be something that defines our movement positively or negatively. Let's strive for the positive. The last thing we need is to send a message that we are ungrateful or trifling. We should remind Obama that we are still here, we care and honor his leadership and he should not and can not forget about us.

I know he hasn't, but I can understand how his silence is deafening. Hopefully, when he see us tonight he will think about what he needs to do to honor his promises. Being the staunch supporter of Obama, I know he will come through. He just need to say something or inform his folks about his plans.

Still believing, still supporting.

Interesting Quote: Justice Carlos R. Moreno


"I conclude that requiring discrimination against a minority group on the basis of a suspect classification strikes at the core of the promise of equality that underlies our California Constitution."

Justice Carlos R. Moreno, the lone supporter of us during the Prop 8 ruling.

One More Time for the Cheap Seats in the back


Let's try this again, the California supreme court will rule on the constitutionality of Proposition 8 on Tuesday.

Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, released this statement.

"On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court will issue its ruling in our Prop. 8 legal challenge. We brought this case on behalf of Equality California and six couples who urgently wish to retain the freedom to marry in California, but the Court's decision will mean so much more to so many -- to same-sex couples in California and in states across the country, to those who advocate for minority rights, and to all those who care about equality. The Court's decision will determine whether or not Prop. 8 is valid, and whether or not the more than 18,000 marriages that took place between June 16 and November 4, 2008, will continue to be legally valid and recognized by the State of California."

Well, here we go again.
