Gay Marriages on Hold Until December

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just announced that they are keeping the stay in place of Judge Walker’s historic decision striking down Proposition 8.

This means that, regrettably, same-sex couples will have wait longer to get married and are still being denied their fundamental right to do so.

This is not the end – far from it. The appeals process still needs to play out, and the court is expediting the process. The case is expected to be heard in December.
We need to work together to do what it takes to ensure a favorable outcome. Here’s what you can do:
1. Email the Governor and Attorney General and urge them to stand strong against the attacks they are receiving from anti-LGBT groups.
2. Make a donation to elect a governor and attorney general who will refuse to defend Prop. 8 in court.
3. Volunteer in your area. We are building on the majority support we have, which is so critical to winning marriage back, either in the court or at the ballot box.
