How
to help
The world will change one person at a time
Talk
to friends and family about Equal Marriage for Same-Sex couples and
get them to help out. Tell
your friends about our site.
If
you have a web site, link to us,
or encourage other web sites to do the same.
If you are part
of a faith community that does not support equal marriage, please work
to encourage your spiritual leaders to allow the
solemnization of same-sex marriages by willing, licensed clergy. Speak
openly about your misgivings. There's more you can do. When the collection
plate is passed, don't give your usual tithes, offering, or special
gifts. Drop a note
in the collection of donations instead, making it clear that you love
your faith but that you can no longer support the untruth and injustice
that flows out of anti-gay teachings or actions. Sign your note proudly,
or not, according to your comfort. Then give your regular donation to
a gay-positive faith community or organization. There are many opportunities
to do
justice. End spiritual abuse.
Write
letters and make phone calls of appreciation to those who support
same-sex marriage, and help inform those who are still against equality.
Contact politicians, media, religious leaders, unions, etc.
Visit
your local Member of Parliament to increase support for equal marriage.
Consider hosting
or planning an event in support
of equal marriage (i.e., conferences, panel discussions, readings, lectures,
fundraisers, rallies, etc.).
Give your online
business to our affiliates and advertisers. All fees or commissions
are directed to the Equal Marriage Pride
trust account, in support of marriage equality advocacy.
Consider your
unique circumstances, network, skills and inclinations and take ownership
for contributing to change. Write
to us to explore more.
