Last week I was on a local news website and came across an article about the NC anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment and I found this quote....."(The constitutional marriage amendment) is about marriage, the protection of marriage," said Tami Fitzgerald, executive director for the North Carolina Values Coalition. "We expect a groundswell of support from people across the state because the polls tell us that people care very deeply about protecting marriage from being redefined."
What? My marriage is not threatened by gay marriage in NC. That is ridiculous! Do you know anyone whose is? Of course not! So, I had to do something. I created a Facebook page out of protest. It is called My Marriage is Not Threatened by Gay Marriage in NC. Here is the link. Check out the photos. See the love.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Marriage-Is-Not-Threatened-By-Gay-Marriage-in-NC/210518079015149?sk=wall I started the Facebook page on Friday 9/29. On Sunday morning (10/2) there were 53 "likes", last night (10/4) there were 500, tonight (10/5) there were 1500. Be a part of the movement!
It is a simple idea. Heterosexual couples living in NC and opposing the anti-gay constitutional marriage amendment are posting photos of themselves on this Facebook page, expressing their support for equality. It is my goal to raise awareness of just how stupid this amendment is. If you are on Facebook whether you are in NC or not, encourage your friends to "like" the page, and to share the page. Encourage friends to post their photos if they are heterosexual married couples living in NC and opposing the marriage amendment.We can make a difference! Thanks in advance for your support.
