Yes On Gay Marriage Volunteers Gearing Up for 1 Million Signatures at Pride Events Across the Country

Armed with Yes On Gay Marriage petitions, National Director Kelley Moran said, "Starting this week volunteers around the country are gearing up to collect more than 1 million signatures supporting gay marriage."

"Since the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, we've seen a huge surge in volunteers across the country anxious to get involved in our fight to bring true equality to every citizen of the United States," he said. "Our volunteers are organizing petition drives at their local Gay Pride events and celebrations all over America."

Moran characterized the burgeoning interest and involvement as a ground swell of a new grass roots movement for equal rights similar to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s.

"The young people in our community are hungry to get involved in this fight. They want their voices to be heard and they are angry that federal and state elected officials seem only to be paying lip service to their promises of fierce advocacy for equal rights for the gay community," Moran added. "We are organizing them into groups to gather 1 million signatures on petitions supporting gay marriage that we will present to President Obama."

The new interest comes on the heels of the court's upholding Prop 8, a Justice Department brief comparing gay marriage to incest, the discharge of highly qualified and trained military personnel under the "Don't Ask; Don't Tell" policy and President Obama's seemingly tepid support of equal rights for gays, a community that heavily backed his campaign for the presidency.
