Marriage Equality Log Cabin worked hard to defeat Proposition 8, the anti-gay ballot measure that overturned marriage equality in California. We formed a campaign committee to help increase Republican opposition to this amendment—Republicans Against 8.

Log Cabin was on the front lines of the battle to protect our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights and freedoms. Republicans Against 8 developed several videos to counter the lies spread by the opponents of freedom. One is entitled Defend Freedom - Watch the video now. The fight has just begun. Log Cabin's mission has not been completed. We will continue the fight. Share this video with your friends. Share it with your families. And most importantly, share it with your fellow Republicans - especially if they’re in California.

HOW GAY OR LESBIAN IS YOUR CITY?

We've updated our data to include every incorporated city in California. Based on 2000 U.S. Census Data, a "Gay Index" was created to determine a basic average number of same sex households for a city. We also now have the Overall Index, the Gay Male Index and the Lesbian Index. Look up your city here. ALSO: Find out how gay or lesbian your Republican Legislative District is by selecting the Assembly or Senate.

NATIONAL POLL OF REPUBLICANS FINDS STRONG SUPPORT FOR EQUALITY FOR GAYS AND LESBIANS
A national poll of Republicans on a wide variety of issues found the base of the GOP is more in sync with Log Cabin than with Lou Sheldon on Gay and Lesbian issues. Did you know that 67% of social conservatives oppose allowing employers to fire people for being gay or lesbian? See the letter sent to California GOP leaders and elected officials which highlights the results.
