From Credo, Yesterday:
Moments ago, the California Supreme Court ruled to uphold Prop. 8 — although the court said that the 18,000 couples who got married last year can remain married, no more same sex couples can get married under the current law. This is a sad and angry moment, but we cannot let it feel like defeat. We must use this as an opportunity to move forward in the fight for marriage equality for all Californians — a fight that we will take to every corner of this state.
People say the fight for gay marriage is about a lot of things. They say it's about equal rights, and civil liberties, and the values that define America — and that's all true.
But this fight is about more than that. This is about love.
Victories in Maine and Vermont and Iowa have turned the tide on marriage equality. Far-right conservatives and their despicable fear tactics are losing ground every day. We've faced a setback in California today, but the truth remains clear: this is a fight we can win. So join in our commitment to fight back together and overturn Prop. 8, and display the sticker. And ask your friends and family to display the sticker. And when you see a stranger with the sticker, you can smile.
