Religious Leaders Address Proposition 8, Homophobia and Racism

Election night was a bitter-sweet celebration.
We came together to witness the first African-American man who will become our president, yet watched in sadness as Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, and California
all voted down equal rights for all citizens.

This is not a 4-state issue.
This is an issue of equality across America!
Stand up and make your voice heard!

Proposition 8, Homophobia, and Racism
Addressed by Leaders of Three Christian
Denominations Rooted in the LGBT Community

"We affirm that there are no separate battles in the fight for human equality. The struggle for LGBT equality stands in solidarity with the struggles of people of color, immigrants, and all who still seek basic human and civil rights."

Only days ago, the United States elected its first African American president. That evening, the LGBT community heard our names included in the election night speech of the new President-elect.

On that same day, in California, Arizona and Florida, the same voters who made that historic moment possible also voted to eliminate the constitutional right of LGBT people to marry those we love. This vote was yet another painful reminder of the unfinished work of achieving civil and human rights for LGBT people in our country.
