Tell the Census Bureau to count every marriage in 2010.

Yet another reason to repeal the so-called "Defense of Marriage Act":

Under DOMA, the federal government will not (cannot) recognize same-sex marriages. This often brings to mind issues around tax status, adoption, hospital rights, etc. But it is also preventing us from being counted in the census. Gay marriage is legal now in three states, and not a single one will show up in the 2010 Census.

The U.S. Census Bureau will actively edit the responses of same-sex couples on the 2010 Census, classifying all legally married same-sex couples as "unmarried partners."

Last year it was announced that they won't count legally recognized same-sex marriages. They plan to actually go line by line erasing our relationships -- even legally recognized marriages in Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, and Iowa.

What can you do? Ask the Census Bureau to Count Our Marriages.

Tell Ken Starr: Please Don't Divorce Us (video w/ Regina Spektor song)

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

This is a fabulous montage of the Flickr photo project by the Courage Campaign. They asked people to submit photos with one simple message: "Don't Divorce Us."

Ken Starr, who led the campaign to impeach President Bill Clinton, filed a legal brief last month -- on behalf of the "Yes on 8" campaign -- that would forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year before the passage of Prop 8.

Watch "Fidelity" and sign our letter to the state Supreme Court. Tell the Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8, reject Ken Starr's case, and let loving, committed couples marry. DEADLINE: Valentine's Day.
