Two years ago on February 12th, Gavin Newsom opened the doors to City Hall and over 4,000 same-sex couples walked into City Hall and got married. Those marriages were later overturned but the determination to end discrimination is stronger than ever. Equality California (EQCA) has launched a month-long campaign to galvanize people around the cause of ending marriage discrimination against same-sex couples. EQCA's Get Engaged Tour has hit the road, carrying the message of marriage equality to virtually all 58 counties in California.

Anti-equality opponents hope that supporters of same-sex marriage stay at home on Valentine's Day. Randy Thomasson will be travelling around the state on what he is calling his "real marriage tour." A highlight of the Get Engaged Tour will take place on Valentine's Day, when thousands of LGBT Californians will put their hearts into the marriage equality cause. In each county, couples will to go to their county clerk's office to request a marriage license. These actions will highlight the government's discrimination against same-sex couples, and give a face to the part of the population that is negatively impacted by the inability to marry.
