unless you avoid the news altogether, you may have noticed that bush is officially planning to support a change of the constitution to prevent same-sex couples from marrying.

following my brother's lead, i have sent the following email of support to san francisco's current mayor. i invite you to send your own emails to [email protected].

mr. newsom;

i have been watching the events that have been unfolding at san francisco city hall with great appreciation and interest. you have done an amazing and incredibly brave thing. thank you so much for standing up for the civil rights of so many. hearing the joy and grateful tears of the newlyweds on the radio inspired tears of joy in me, too.

please do not be discouraged by those attempting to block your efforts. what you have done is historic and cannot be truly undone. thank you again for your courage and fortitude.
