This week it was assigned the number Prop 22. The Knight Initiative is an unnecessary, unfair, and intrusive piece of legislation that clearly threatens legal protection of daughters and sons of same-sex couples. If passed the Initiative could be used to challenge state and local laws that provide insurance benefits, inheritance rights, hospital visitation rights, child custody and adoption to lgbt parents. In light of damage that the Knight Initiative will do to our families, we are holding a series of 3 trainings around the state of California to organize daughters and sons of lgbt parents to become directly involved in defeating the Knight Initiative on March 7th. Trainings will be held in the East Bay on November 20th, in Los Angeles on December 5th, and in Fresno on December 11th.
Registration is free but limited to children with lgbt parents.
Time is of the essence to fight back this attack o our families. So far participants range in age from 16-36, but younger and older are also welcome. The entry may be an essay, a short story, or a poem. Poems must be under 2 pages. The contest is open to any high school student, regardless of sexual orientation, in the counties of San Francisco, Alameda, or Contra Costa, in both public and private high schools.
