At 10 am, we learned that the California Court failed to overturn Proposition 8 but at the same time is upholding the 18,000+ marriages that occurred between June and November 2008.

By upholding Prop 8, the Court has diminished its legacy as a champion of equality. No minority group should have to defend its right to equality at the ballot. The Court’s decision jeopardizes every minority group in California and across the country and the potential for further ballot initiatives that attack minority rights is a travesty.

We are relieved the Court protected couples who married before November 5 and including those of COLAGE members and families. COLAGE believes that the reality of these thousands of couples and families will help educate that marriage equality is not a threat to anyone and that our families are stronger when they have the same rights and options as all Californian couples.

Now, the COLAGE community in California and beyond will use the court decision as an opportunity to continue to raise visibility of children, youth and adults with LGBTQ parents and our families. Tonight in cities across California we’ll take to the streets. In San Francisco COLAGE will be leading the march, will you join us? http://dayofdecision.wetpaint.com/page/San+Francisco?t=anon
