Williams Institute-The Legal Brainpower of Perry vs. Schwarzenegger
Since the dawn of Proposition 8 in ‘08, the Williams Institute commenced research and estimated what damage the passage of prop 8 will do overtime. Prior to it’s passage, Williams Institute hit the ground running by establishing how many couples were married and how many individuals will be affected by the turnout.
California: 18,000 couples = 36,000 individuals
Williams Institute has been the driving force of the trial that is occurring in San Francisco.
Just a Few Facts:
According to Williams Institute and Jerome Cleary, California activist, passage of Prop 8 will, overtime, cost California $800,000,000 USD due to losses of revenue from marriages and various auxiliary services.
Coincidentally, the same year California had to cut budgets to education-just over $1.6 billion over time. If the Lesbian and Gay community can participate same as heterosexual citizens of California, then our state will have a brighter, more prosperous future. If you don’t get it, our $800,000,000 can really help out that $1.6 billion.
If their estimates hold true, California will get further away from solving the budget deficit that the Lesbian and Gay community CAN assist in solving. We are citizens too, we are your brothers and sisters who can lend a helping hand. All we ask is to be included in the same rights of others. Justice can prevail.
