Remember how you felt when Prop 8 passed? Whether you were in California or New York or North Dakota or anywhere else, chances are you were not happy about it. The fight this year is in Maine, and the people who want to fight same-sex marriage are themselves calling it the most important cultural battle of 2009. People on both sides are looking to Maine; Just as it did years ago, “As Maine goes, so goes the nation.”
To help the fight in Maine, I’m co-hosting a Sept. 15 event in Los Angeles that will send 100% of the money raised to No On 1 / Equality Maine. If you’re in L.A., please do come (it’s a min. $30 requested donation). And if you’re elsewhere, please consider hosting your own event or donating directly to No On 1! What would it be worth to feel exuberance on election day? It’s worth a lot to me.

Great idea Cyd. I just get so disheartened by gay apathy for this kind of activism. I still get sick over how many gays I know who don’t even vote. Either way, I can’t host a party but I will go to their website and make a donation.
Hopefully some of the overpaid divas we gays spend all our money on (Madonna and Cher) will actually pony up this time. Most of the stars that make their living by gay fans failed to any money out there to stop Prop 8.

After japan attacked Hawaii, the admiral in charge said “I fear we have wakened a sleeping Giant.” You outside of Maine have no idea what you are doing, you have woken a sleeping giant, the right have joined together.
The right is furous overoutsiders coming to Maine and, I qoute, “Caliphony leftist haters are not going to do to Maine what they tried to do elseswhere!”
Out of staters mneed to leave us alone, don’t listien to the so called leaders who hang around in bars and classrooms, open your eyes and read the editorials, listen to local talk radio and stay the hell out of maine!
