    I'm so excited! I got a call from Basic Rights Oregon tonight and they want to put a statement by me along with a family picture on their brochures to support marriage equality. It will go out to 40,000+ people plus they will take them door knocking. It is their goal to convince enough people to support marriage equality that we will win with votes in 2012. How cool is that? (!)(!)(!)

    Go Becky!

    You're being part of history, part of positive change and that's something you should be proud of.

    Obama has never promised marriage...he's for civil unions. So marriage is going to have to be decided state to state. Unfortunately in Oregon, we have an amendment that says marriage is between a man and a woman. The only way we can win marriage is to put it to a vote. That is what Basic Rights Oregon intends to do in 2012. We have to do an education campaign up until then to make sure everyone knows why its so important. The brochure will be an educational piece that supports marriage equality.

    This is the quote they are going with:

    My husband and I couldn't be more proud of our three talented, beautiful children who have all become successful young adults. My son Adam has been in a committed and loving relationship for several years. He and his partner even bought a home together. But unlike our two daughters, Adam can’t get married, because he’s gay. We hope one day our son will be able to experience this ritual of love and celebrate it with his family and friends.
