The Fight for Marriage Equality Marches On and On…
Friday, March 13th, 2009
Last Wednesday night, groups marched in candlelight vigils all over the
state of California to voice their opposition to the passage of
Proposition 8, which amended the state constitution to outlaw same-sex marriage. The marches took place the night before the California Supreme Court
was to hear oral arguments on the legality of the measure.
Kink.com's own Director of Human Resources, Vince, having married his
longtime partner during the brief period when same-sex marriage was
still legal, is one of the many individuals who will be directly
affected by the ruling, as it is unknown whether or not the court will
retroactively nullify existing marriages. The impending decision, which must be made within 90 days,
is sure to have major repercussions that affect millions of people
throughout the state and beyond, as this epic struggle for equal rights
continues. For more information, or to find out how you can join the
