Hey-- are any of you out there married or engaged in countries where gay marriage already is protected and recognized by the law? As far as I know this includes Canada, the Netherlands, and Belgium, and I think Spain.
I was thinking you could help tell your stories, what marriage means to you, why you love your partner and family, etc. It'd be great to post these stories online as encouragement to Americans back home to never give up for what's right. Could we make an international site for these things? Videos, writings, and stuff.

Hier, samedi 15 novembre, de la Côte Est à la Côte Ouest des Etats-Unis, et aussi à Hawai, près de 3OO manifestations ont été organisées à la même heure pour protester contre l'annulation du droit au mariage pour les gays et les lesbiennes par le vote populaire californien.
Des slogans étaient scandés par les manifestants qui étaient nombreux à porter des bannières arc-en-ciel ou à les arborer: -"Que voulons-nous? -L'égalité des droits! -Pour quand? -Tout de suite! A Manhattan, des barricades furent dressées et on pouvait lire sur des pancartes portées par les manifestants: - L'Amour et l'unité, pas la haine -All we need is love, D'autres chantaient: -"Yes, we will," sur l'air du "Yes we can" qui a conduit à la victoire d'Obama. Quelques déclarations: - Les mariages civils sont un droit civique, et nous continuerons à nous battre jusqu'à ce que nous aurons acquis les droits auxquels nous avons droit en tant que citoyens américains. -Nous sommes la famille américaine, nous sommes vos voisins, nous enseignons dans les écoles de vos enfants, nous prenons soins de vos parents plus âgés. -C'est en menant une personne au-delà de son ressentiment, et en ayant une conversation respectueuse avec elle que l'on plante la semence du changement. Les organisateurs avaient de fait encouragé les manifestants à ne pas produire de slogans et d'attitudes agressives, mais bien sûr tous les manifestants n'ont pas suivi ces conseils tant les gays et les lesbiennes américains sont ulcérés. De nombreux manifestants demandaient aussi au Président-élu OBAMA de ne pas les oublier dans leur revendication d'obtenir l'égalité des droits. |

Althought I cant physically be there to support and although I am a heterosexual male - I believe in the right to love who you want to love and be able to LEGALLY marry who you want to marry - male or female - straight or gay - LOVE IS LOVE and I BELIEVE IN THE PRESERVATION OF IT!
I am for GAY RIGHTS I am for SAME-SEX MARRIAGE I am for EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE! Please let me know how I can show my support if I cannot make it to an event.

I am a United States citizen currently living in Córdoba, Argentina. I wish I was in the states right now to be apart of this protest, but if there is anything I can do here, I would love to help the effort.

I actually live just over the French border, but I imagine rallying in Geneva would have more of an impact than gathering in a small French town. I know that both Switzerland and France recognize some sort of civil union status for homosexual couples, but they generally do not share all the rights as heterosexual couples. I would like to see true equality, not "second-rate" or "close enough"! Please email me at dfurlani at web dot de if you're interested in participating.

I can't find this "easy edit" button but no matter.
I can host/organize for Hong Kong. My name's Robert and can be reached at honestrep262@yahoo.com I figure we march near the embassy as it is as close as we can get to US power. I recognize that it may not work and we may get broken up quickly due to the high level security they tend to surround our embassies with. But it doesn't matter. Email me I don't wanna go alone!

As a sister of a lesbian and as an American, I would like to be able to fight Prop 8. I am appalled and ashamed that my country has failed to see past the bigotry . I thought in America we were free to love who we want , free to be able to spend the rest of your life with that person. Gays have the right to have the same rights to a wife or husband, have kids, the so-called American Dream'' that apparently only straight people are allowed to have. Even the right for gay couples to adopt in Arkansas was taken away. What is my country coming to? It's insane.
I may be in Japan, but I will try to help as much as I can.
