*** SUMMARY ***

(Permission granted to forward the text of this email to supportive parties)

The Religious Right has already begun the anti-gay media campaigns in Hawaii.
They are fighting against legalizing same-sex marriage.  There is a very good
possibility that same-sex marriages could be legalized there!! 

However, this November there is a measure on the ballot which could allow
legislators to ban same-sex marriages in Hawaii-- overriding the court's
decision!

The Human Rights Campaign (http://www.hrc.org) has an excellent web page
dedicated to the fight IN SUPPORT OF same-sex marriage.

*** ACTION ***

Please help by visiting the site at

https://www.hrc.org/joinus/hawaii.html

and do your part in counteracting the vicious anti-gay ads being run by the
Religious Right.

For additional information on the anti-gay ad campaign, please see:

http://www.hrc.org/feature1/hiads.html

You can watch a video clip of the anti-gay ad-- and yes, you guessed it, it
panders to people's prejudice. As part of the Right's propaganda, the anti-gay
ad features a little boy who is supposedly "confused". This is followed by an
ominous adult voice warning, "If you don't think homosexual marriage will affect
you, how do you think it will affect your children?" 

So please visit

https://www.hrc.org/joinus/hawaii.html

and do what you can to help!
