Decline to Sign Ref. 71

Hate-filled people are circulating petitions in Washington State to over turn Washington’s domestic partnership that provides legal protections for same-sex couples as well as seniors. The people gathering signatures are in serious need of prayer. If the love of God was in their hearts, they would not be able to put time and effort into signature signing and gathering for Ref. 71. If you know of people who have signed Ref 71, send us their names and we will pray for them.   It is time to out the bigots.

If you would like to support domestic partnerships in Washington, visit www.wafst.org – Washington Families Standing Together

Sadness over California’s Supreme court ruling

This morning the california supreme court upheld the hate filled proposition 8 banning same-sex couples the right to marry in california.
To see events in your area and take action go to http://www.dayofdecision.com/
Remember “No civil rights movement has EVER lost. Never. It is not a matter of if our community will win full equal rights, including marriage. It is only a matter of when. But as in all civil rights movements, we will have to fight like hell for it.”

-Robin Tyler, petitioner-case to overturn prop 8
