As we’re about to celebrate the July Fourth Holiday the fireworks have already started for our LGBT community. Yes we all knew that Anderson Cooper was gay but his coming out was still significant in achieving our equality. More & more people are becoming openly supportive of marriage equality. In Washington State where gay marriage appears on the November ballot Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer & co-founder Bill Gates have each donated $100,000 to the campaign supporting the state's new gay marriage law. Zach Silk, campaign manager for Washington United for Marriage, stated, "It's going to make a tremendous difference. It's very important for us to have that broad support from business leaders & companies themselves." Before this donation, Washington United for Marriage had raised nearly $1.5 million for the campaign to fight back attempts to overturn the law. Preserve Marriage Washington has raised more than $130,000 according to the most recent numbers with the Public Disclosure Commission. However the money race is expected to heat up significantly in the coming months. This is no time to become complacent. Maine & Minnesota also have gay marriage on their November ballot. Independence Day is a time to celebrate that all Americans are equal, not just some of the people. So have a Safe & Fabulous Holiday & Get Ready to Rumble…:)
