Gavin Creel Blogs on Marriage Equality Fight and NY Senate Vote

Creel writes that:

"so. the news sucks. no other way of putting it.
sucks sucks sucks.
i'm not going to try to be some cheerleader right now. i personally think it is okay to be pissed or bummed or fired up or whatever you are feeling.
personally, i'm just disappointed.

BroadwayImpact has always been a grass roots thing. we haven't claimed to have all the answers. we aren't funded by some big corporation or grant. we were just the three of us, caring and trying to learn how this stuff works and then sharing the info we find with anyone out there who wants to care and learn with us.
we have grown INCREDIBLY in the past year.

YEAR ONE has given us a rally in times square that was covered nationally, months of volunteers coming together to phone bank with the HRC, teaming up with the True Colors Fund to bridge outward even more and raise some money to help us do more work, organizing 25 buses to march on dc with thousands of people, demanding justice....the list goes on and on.
and that is all because of YOU.

so now....what do we do?"

Founded by Gavin Creel, Rory O'Malley and Jenny Kanelos, Broadway Impact is a community of actors, directors, stage managers, fans, producers - pretty much anyone who has ever seen, been in or worked on a Broadway show - united by the simple belief that anyone who wants to should be able to get married.

Excited by the election of President Obama and angered by the passage of Prop 8, a few friends came together with a hope to educate and inspire our community into action towards equality.

Every year, through Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS and other amazing organizations, the theatrical community raises millions of dollars for charity. They believe that now there is a fight that has come to our stage and it is one that cannot be ignored.

Broadway Impact exists to be a place for anyone and everyone who loves theatre, is passionate about equality, and wants to know how to sing out and make their voice heard.
