Sometimes my news intake consists of NPR during my commute and a glance at the headlines during the day at Yahoo.com. In late May I saw two headlines stacked on top of each other:

1. 100,000 people suspected dead in Myanmar cyclone

2. Conservative group raised over 2M dollars to overturn gay marriage in California

Let’s get our priorities in the right place. As Americans we have power to raise money for any cause yet a group of self-righteous jingoistic individuals places a higher priority on stopping California men and women from loving someone of the same sex than helping starving and homeless families in Burma or China.

Help gay Californians keep their right to be married by contributing to Equality California.

Assist the efforts to rescue homeless families around the world by contributing to the Red Cross or Shelterbox.
