Two things happened today that I think are worth noting:
First, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the latest Field Poll shows that support for Proposition 8 is declining. It has been steadily doing so since the Field Poll began polling on the issue a few months ago. At this point, 38% of those polled support Proposition 8, which is down from 42% as of the last poll in July. 55% are now against Proposition 8, up from 51% in July.
Let's keep working hard, but I reassert my position that Proposition 8 isn't going to pass. My conviction on this is only strengthening as time goes on. It bears mentioning that Prop. 8 supporters have raised over $6 million more than anti-Prop. 8 organizations. For a detailed look, check out this LA Times page. Still, the tide is on our side, and that says a great deal.
Second, this isn't necessarily major news, but thanks to Brad Pitt for coming out on the right side of things and donating $100,000 toward fighting Proposition 8. I generally don't pay much mind to celebrities, but I think he deserves some gratitude for this.
I encourage everyone to keep giving their time, money and efforts to fight Proposition 8 as they can.
