The LegalizeLove.com Campaign, an equality movement that has been putting bumper stickers on cars across the nation to spread the word for marriage equality, has hit the streets in a big way.
Inspired by the President’s support for same-sex marriage, gay couple Luke Montgomery and Eduardo Cisneros covered every inch of their 2010 VW Beetle in over one thousand “Legalize Love” Obama bumper stickers, and set out on a 2,400 mile cross-country journey from their Los Angeles home to Charlotte, N.C., where the Democratic National Convention is currently being held, giving away Legalize Love stickers along the way.
“We simply want the right to marry like everybody else. We’re both excited to be here in Charlotte giving away free “Legalize Love” bumper stickers. It’s going to be a tight race and the ‘Obama Love Bug’ is all about going the extra mile and keeping anti-gay Mitt Romney out of the White House.” said Eduardo Cisneros. “The President is sticking up for our families and our free ‘Legalize Love’ Obama bumper stickers are our way of literally ‘sticking up’ for him in this tight election.”
“Republican Super PACs are throwing millions of dollars at the Romney-Ryan campaign. We must do our part so that an inequality of campaign cash doesn’t lead to inequality for lesbians and gays,” adds Luke Montgomery. “Romney might think cash is king, but LegalizeLove.com is out to prove love conquers all.”
If you’re in the Charlotte area, look for the duo in blue Legalize Love tees, as they’ll be driving around handing out free bumper stickers and taking photos with supporters on Wednesday and Thursday. For exact location, call or text 310-663-7871.
