Sweet Somethings: Overturn 8
May 22
At Sweet, we know how important it is for everyone to feel the love. It’s our fervent hope that the California Supreme Court does, too. We’ve got our fingers, toes and eyes crossed that the Court’s decision on Tuesday will mean that the 18,000 couples who were wed before last year’s election are able to stay married. Further, we hope even more lovebirds will be able to walk down the aisle in California (say Wednesday).
Sweet is a proud sponsor of both Equality California and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, two amazing organizations that have been working tirelessly for equal rights. Here’s hoping there will be celebrations throughout California on Tuesday.
Have a wonderful, long weekend.
