Today,
U.S. President Barack Obama sat for an interview and publicly declared
for the first time that he supports marriage equality.
This
is an historic moment with huge implications globally and in the US. As
many countries around the world continue to ban marriage and 76 nations
criminalize people because of who they love, President Obama has just
stood up to boldly say that all love is equal.
Will
you help us make an example of Obama's willingness to affirm equal love
and show other world leaders that they can change their minds too? This
story is going to be told around the world and President Obama - and
journalists on every continent – must know that millions are on his
side. We want to
deliver the world's biggest Thank You card to the White House on Friday
with thousands of signatures from around the world - we can't do it
without you. Every name makes a difference:
This
time, Barack Obama put aside politics and was brave enough to stand up
for what's right. We can show other leaders that they too can take a
stand. This is not just about marriage - it's about the universal power
of love to change hearts and minds.
We know critics in the US and leaders around the world will use this to attack Obama for supporting same sex relationships. But they won't be successful if we send a dramatic global message of support.

This is a
brave statement, a moment to be celebrated in the long fight for equal
recognition of all relationships around the world. On Friday,
we’ll deliver this card to the White House and send the message that
standing up for love is the right thing to do – even when it’s hard.
Will you add your name and share it far and wide?
