Prop 8 shattered that dream for lesbian and gay Californians, and ever day it remains in effect real people are being hurt. <br /><br />As a way to reaffirm our position that the Prop 8 advocates have no standing in this lawsuit, we will sit down - married couples, like my wife Davina and me, alongside similarly situated same-gender couples who can’t marry at the same counter that used to marry everyone equally. The State of California has officially confirmed that they want to put this ugly, discriminatory chapter of our state's history behind us - and we are hopeful that the courts will confirm that there is no standing to appeal the historic federal court ruling that struck down Prop 8 as unconstitutional. We must restore an inclusive future for all California couples, sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Molly McKay, Marriage Equality USA Media DirectorMolly McKayhttp://equalityevents.ning.com/noreply@blogger.com
