The New "Yes on Gay Marriage" Video

Yes On Gay Marriage has been making great strides in their efforts to establish equal rights for the LGBT community. They have been to several Pride events around the United States this summer delivering their message and hearing what others had to say. The overwhelming support that they received was phenomenal.

Everywhere they went people were saying it without reservation and with passion. They knew they had to record the energy that people had for this cause. During San Francisco Pride they took a Video Camera around and asked people to declare, “I Say Yes On Gay Marriage.”

Watch the video and know that we are not alone in our convictions. There are millions of people just waiting to be heard.

San Francisco Dyke March

The Dyke March presents an evening of sweet sounds to fill your heart and soul. Singing sensation Chavé Alexander (aka Alotta Boutté) began belting out the tunes in her very young years. Recently joining the cast of Beach Blanket Babylon, Chavé is sure to make this a night to remember. Also featured for your delight will be M.K. Spatt, teenage musical wonder, who rocked the Dyke March stage in 2008 with her band "The Trykes". Visit our website for our extensive Special Needs Services at the march, for ways to donate, and for other events. Also, we are seeking volunteers for everything from setup to sales to security.
