Obama's support for full
marriage equality made history –
but the right wing wants to
use it against us.

We have to capitalize
on our new momentum.

Donate to HRC in the
next 24 hours and fuel the fight for marriage by having
your gift doubled.

Dear bruce,

President Obama's statement yesterday that gay and lesbian Americans deserve full marriage equality was honest and simple: All families deserve equal respect and recognition that comes through marriage.

But right-wing antagonists don't see it that way.

They're lashing out – enraged over our movement's new momentum. We won't let their bigoted rage win. Can you help turn this historic moment into a turning point for equality nationwide?

A generous donor and HRC Board Member – Bruce Bastian – has stepped up with a challenge: He'll match every donation in the next 24 hours up to $100,000.

We don't have a moment to lose. Make an urgent gift to HRC today and have your gift matched, dollar for dollar – for 24 hours only!

You and I know that our nation is on a path to equality, and the President is leading us in that direction. But it won't happen on its own – certainly not when the far right attacks us and our families at every turn.

HRC's nationwide fight for marriage equality is using this momentum to ensure we keep moving forward. But it won't be possible without your support.

There are only so many moments like this one in the life of a movement. Stand with HRC now to show the right wing that we won't back down from any fight.

Push forward. Help the fight for marriage equality nationwide by making an urgent gift to HRC – it'll be matched dollar-for-dollar for the next 24 hours.

Thanks to President Obama, and thanks to you, we are driving our movement forward. With happiness in my heart, and pounding in my chest, I can't wait for the next day like this.

For momentum,
