Eight lesbian bloggers joined together to fight Proposition 8, the November ballot initiative that seeks to re-ban gay marriage in California, where same-sex couples began legally marrying this June 17.
Bloggers Grace Chu and Grace Rosen of Grace the Spot, Pam Spaulding of Pam’s House Blend, Dorothy Snarker of Dorothy Surrenders, Lori Hahn ofHahn At Home, Kelly Leszczynski of The Lesbian Lifestyle, Sinclair of Sugarbutch Chronicles, Riese of This Girl Called Automatic Win, and Renee Gannon of Lesbiatopia formed the 8 Against 8 Campaign to call on the public to donate to the "No to Prop. 8” campaign and help defeat the anti-gay marriage measure come Election Day, which if it passes, will nullify thousands of now legal same sex marriages and make it illegal once again for lesbian and gay couples to marry in California.
“We've joined the NO on 8 campaign because we believe every Californian deserves the freedom to marry the one they love. Prop. 8 would create a separate set of rules for same-sex couples, treating them differently under law,” the bloggers wrote in a release. “Regardless of how you feel about marriage, it is a right that belongs to all of us, without exception.”
8 Against 8 asks that the public join them in making a donation to NO on 8 - Equality California. “Your generous contribution will help NO on 8 defeat this misguided measure,” wrote the bloggers. “Thank you for standing with us to support freedom, fairness and equality.”
