Prop 8 Oral Arguments just finished

Equality California | http://www.eqca.org

Dear EQCA Supporter,

Oral arguments on our challenge to Prop 8 just ended and I wanted to share with you
some quick thoughts.

First, on behalf of all of you, our members, your brilliant team of lawyers,
including lead counsel Shannon Minter, along with Raymond Marshall, Michael Maroko
and Therese Stewart, did an incredible job arguing that if the initiative process is
used to take a fundamental right away from a persecuted minority, no one in
California is safe. I also want to the thank Christopher Krueger and the Attorney
General’s office for arguing to overturn Prop 8.

There's no way to know how the court will rule and they have 90 days to issue an
opinion. I don't think they'll wait that long...so expect a decision in April or
May.

Keep in mind that regardless of how the court rules we all have to continue working
to educate Californians about the importance of the freedom to marry. And that means
we need you and everyone in our community to fight for the rights of lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender folks win or lose.

Thank you for your incredible support...keep hope alive.


Geoff
