Blogging for marriage equality: the only agenda is love
Can we talk?
I know. Silly question coming from a blogger who never seems to shut up. Why, it seems like only yesterday that I was rambling on about the need to open up and talk about marriage equality to your friends, family members, coworkers and even those people with whom engaging in a conversation about marriage equality might seem a tad challenging at first.
This is Freedom to Marry Week, and Freedom to Marry has launched a campaign called Seven Conversations in Seven Days. Since there’s obviously more than one way to have a conversation, why not explore a new option each day of the week:
Sunday, February 8th: YouTube Challenge
Submit a video to our YouTube Challenge for a chance to win cash prizes.
Monday, February 9th: Make Your Voice Heard
Add your face and voice to the conversation. Create a blog post, vlog, comment on our blog, change your status on facebook, or change your picture on social networks.
Tuesday, February 10th: Email for Equality
Sign the marriage resolution and email it to friends. Support your state’s equality organization and sign and circulate their petitions too!
Wednesday, February 11th: Button Up for Equality
Sign up to receive a button to wear or put our html button on your website, blog, or social networking page.
Thursday, February 12th: Face to Face to Equality
Have a face to face conversation by attending or hosting an event. Tell us about any events happening during the week, and we’ll post them.
Friday, February 13th: Txt 4 Equality
Receive a text or tweet about why marriage matters and forward on to friends.
Saturday, February 14th: Get Local With It
Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.
Need a little help kick-starting that all-important conversation? Freedom to Marry has a list of opening lines, frequently asked questions and talking points.
Now, how hard is that?
