Allen, whose photo is featured below, sent me a link to his blog Random Fragments, and I wanted to share some of what he wrote regarding Prop 102:

"The bottom line…same-sex couples will exist in the world and will raise families just like "traditional" couples do. We can either embrace them with love and equality and share in the joy of their families or we can shun them out of fear and ignorance. We can grant them equal treatment to encourage a stable family situation or place a stumbling block to their ability to live the American dream of liberty and justice for ALL. Let’s focus on initiatives that truly strengthen families of every kind instead of dividing people into unnecessary subclasses."

Erin shared this photo on flickr today, along with the following explanation:

In response to YES’rs who came to my house to give me a door flyer, then saw my previous NO sign in my front yard (which was on the back of a YES sign) They called the cops, the cops came confiscated my sign, and informed me that I can be charged for two misdemeanors for altering a political sign. Apparently you arent allowed to do that. Even though you couldnt tell it was a YES sign unless you were on my property…

The new HUGE sign reads: "You can take my sign, You can’t take my rights!! It’s already ILLEGAL for me to get MARRIED! Stop the hate! Don’t Discriminate! NO on prop 102!"

It’s somewhat sloppy, but I wanted to get it up within hours of the cops taking down my previous sign. Hope the YES people come back again.

Lets see your yard signs, your car signs, your t-shirts…all the creative ways you are making your voice heard.  We’ve got one day left before election day - every moment counts!   This is a challenge to everyone who reads this - find a way to make your voice heard tomorrow.  Let me see your photos, tell me your stories, text and email your friends.  This our chance to make a difference.
