"Revenge Is" Selling Gay Marriage T-Shirt to Benefit Prop 8 Repeal Effort

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Don’t be jealous because Revenge Is, a self-described “eco-activist fashion company” (like Tom’s Shoes), beat you to exploiting same-sex marriage for a few sales.

At Los Angeles boutique Kitson last week, (straight-y) actor Hal Sparks “married” Smith & Pyle bandmates Missi Pyle and Shawnee Smith in a faux ceremony hosted by E! personality Giuliana Rancic, which came complete with staged protesters. Aww!

Sales of the label’s “All Love Is Equal” tee will benefit Prop 8′s 2010 repealers Love Honor Cherish, explains Revenge Is founder Marilyn Barrett.

Love Honor Cherish to Submit Measure Today to Repeal Prop 8 in 2010

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

A group opposed to Proposition 8 plans to submit ballot language to repeal the measure with the attorney general’s office today (Thursday, September 24), one day before the suggested deadline.

John Henning, executive director of Love Honor Cherish, said on Monday, September 21, that the language was still “in flux” but that it was “pretty straightforward.”

He said the proposal would be to strike down Prop 8, which voters passed last November that amended the state constitution and banned same-sex marriage, and include a clause making clear that repealing the measure would not require religious institutions to perform same-sex marriages.
