LGBT Equality in 5 Minutes or Less

Want to make a difference in the fight for LGBT equality? Here are three easy things you can do RIGHT NOW in 5 minutes or less...


1. Speak Out Against "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
(under 1 minute)

Help repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, by sending a pre-written email to your Congressional Representative. HRC makes it SO easy, that it literally took me less than 1 minute to complete:
Repeal DADT Now

If you're not sure how you feel about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", perhaps you should read about the US Navy officer who is resigning after being caught for terrorizing gay and lesbian military personnel for two years. One of the victims who finally spoke out against him was discharged for being gay. Another officer committed suicide. It wasn't reported earlier because a gay who speaks out in the military is summarily discharged. The offending officer is retiring in January - with pension:

2. Support Same-Sex Marriage in Maine by watching a video (under 4 minutes)

Did you see the YouTube video of Phil Spooner - an 86-year-old WWII vet who testified in support of marriage equality before the Maine legislature? It's powerful. It's moving. And it has exploded on the internet in the last three days.



YouTube views have climbed to over 570,000, and it's #3 on YouTube's list of top-rated News & Politics videos. This video helps convince Maine voters on the fence to vote NO on Question 1. Additionally, Mr. Spooner motivates supporters in Maine and across the country to do just a little bit more in these final days. Can you help move this video even further? Let's vault this to #1!
