Dear Aaron,
Watching Del & Phyllis, who have been together 55 years, cut the cake after being legally married Monday evening was a beautiful sight. Today, many more couples will legally tie the knot. After decades of slow and steady progress, what a privilege and a responsibility to be witness to a moment of history in the making.
It is hard to overstate how important the next few days and weeks are in the decades’ long movement to secure simple fairness, safety, and human dignity for all – a teachable moment indeed.
Please be more than a passive witness to the outpouring of love and joy. Share your support for the freedom to marry with friends and family, neighbors and colleagues.
Make it a spiritual practice to talk respectfully with those outside your comfort zone. Write to the newspapers and blogs. Call in to talk shows.
It will be a very close vote in November when Californians will be asked whether or not they want to amend the constitution to limit marriage to opposite sex couples. No group should be singled out for unfair treatment.
This is an issue of human dignity, constitutional integrity and religious freedom. Please take the Vow to Vote No today. The power of Love is on the move!
Blessings,
Rev. Lindi Ramsden UULM Executive Director
