Arizona revokes DP benefits for state workers
The domestic partners of Arizona state workers and their children are among several groups to lose their health insurance coverage under a new law signed by Gov. Jan Brewer. The domestic-partnership benefits, which were made available a year ago via an administrative rule change, represented about $3 million versus the state’s $625 million outlay for benefits for other workers and their dependents, according to this article.

“Please don’t divorce…” Courage Campaign community photo project
Infamous prosecutor Ken Starr has filed a legal brief — on behalf of the “Yes on 8″ campaign — to nullify the 18,000 same-sex marriages performed in California between May and November of 2008.
It’s time to put a face to Ken Starr’s shameful legal proceedings. To put a face to the 18,000 couples facing forcible divorce. To put a face to marriage equality. Because, gay or straight, YOU are the face of the Marriage Equality Movement.
Please click through the photos in the slideshows below and then submit your own photo, as an individual, a couple or in a group (perhaps with your family over the holidays). Take a picture holding a piece of paper that says “Please don’t divorce us,” “Please don’t divorce my moms,”"Please don’t divorce my friends, Dawn and Audrey,” “Please don’t divorce Californians” or whatever you want after “Please don’t divorce…” and send it to: pleasedontdivorce@couragecampaign.org.
We want to share this beautiful project with as many people as possible. Please tell your friends about this slideshow by clicking here to use our simple and easy invite page.

NO on Prop. 8 in California
From our friends at Equality California:
NO on 8: Proposition 8. It’s not right for California.
Every Californian should have the choice to marry the person they love. It’s a personal and fundamental freedom guaranteed by the California Constitution.
But this November, Californians will have an opportunity to vote on Prop. 8, a divisive measure that aims to take away this basic freedom from same-gender couples. It’s not right for California. And it’s not right for you.
You can donate to the “NO on 8″ and find out more here.
