Breaking News: Two New Attacks from Anti-LGBT Extremists

EQUALITY CALIFORNIA

May 1, 2006


Earlier today in Sacramento, a group calling itself VoteYesMarriage.com filed a proposal with
the Attorney General's office proposing a ballot initiative (view at
http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?ID=M726335735700688345468365) that would ask voters in California
to amend the state constitution to ban marriage for same-sex couples.

The initiative process takes time, but EQCA will daily monitor this latest attempt to take away
our basic rights and freedoms and make sure our community and our allies are prepared to stop
it.

In another assault this week, the Capitol Resource Institute launched an aggressive campaign
against EQCA-sponsored legislation to protect youth in schools. CRI is going after LGBT youth by
trying to stop the Student Civil Rights Act, which would ensure that all students have a safe
place to grow and learn.

EQCA needs your immediate support to stop these attacks. Unless we can match the power of our
opponents, our work will always be an uphill struggle and we will risk the loss of our freedoms.
All Californians should have the ability to marry the person they love, and all California
students should be protected in our schools.

It is critical that you send in a donation of $25, $50, $100, $500, or $1,000 today so that we
can continue to fight for all LGBT Californians. The only thing that is going to stop the right
wing is your vigorous involvement and generous financial support.
