Solidarity for justice in California.

Along with my colleagues in the Interfaith Gay and Lesbian Clergy of Los Angeles, I am deeply grieved that the California Supreme Court’s decision published yesterday sustains Proposition 8. Many of our members were on the street last night, May 26, with an estimated crowd of 14,000 including many allies, to protest the Court’s decision.

With many others, I support the efforts of groups such as California Faith for Equality, Courage Campaign, Love Honor Cherish, and White Knot for Equality to repeal Proposition 8, and commend to all people of faith, and especially to clergy, to become involved in the efforts to overturn this proposition which diminishes our equal rights before the law.

The first California-wide event in response to the Court’s decision will be this Saturday in Fresno, California: Meet in the Middle for Equality. Below is a partial list of endorsing organizations:
