As The Supreme Court Fails To Protect LGBT Rights- The Same Sex Marriage Battle Must Continue

    NEWHALL, CA, May 27, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As we received the painful and heartbreaking verdict on prop 8 in California, we here at the Gospel Truth Music Ministry are praying for the strength to continue fighting this bigotry and we ask that all of our LGBT family will join us to continue fighting for marriage equality. We were hopeful that the Supreme Court would have the courage to do the right thing and overturn the hatred that became California law on November 4th 2008 but they completely failed to do so. Now it is up to us as individuals and as a united community to fight for our own civil and human rights and we must do everything in our power to see that this hateful and degrading proposition 8 is eventually overturned. One LGBT Individual who is definitely doing all she can to advance our rights is Rizi Nasele Timane. Rizi is an out lesbian member of clergy and gospel singer with an emotional testimony and a real passion for the gospel of INCLUSION. Rizi is doing all she can to spread the truth which is simply that "God Loves us all just the way we are" and she will be appearing on the main stage at several pride festivals spreading exactly that message during summer 2009.

Please visit WWW.RIZIGOSPEL.COM to learn more about Rizi, hear her music, watch LGBT videos which show the inhumane ways we are treated in the USA and across the world (including a testimony of a lesbian sent to jail by her own family for being gay where she was raped and barely escaped with her life --- Don't worry, God in His mercy gave this story a happy ending and the victim, Prossy Kakooza, received amnesty in London).
You may also watch Rizi's own video testimony and coming out story which tells of her "exorcism" and persecution for being gay in Africa and be especially sure to check out her events page to see if she is coming to a city near you this summer.

It is sobering to remember that it is not only in California that the rights of LGBT people are being denied, stripped away and blatantly ignored. All across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and right here in the USA, the battle for LGBT equality continues. It continues in the workplace, in our homes, in our schools, in the sphere of marriage equality and so many other areas of our daily lives and we must all do our part to fight for equality and raise our voices against hatred, prejudice and injustice. Presently, a series of Rizi's 30 second TV commercials geared towards promoting this important message are airing locally in Los Angeles and San Francisco on Bravo Tv and CNN ( with a nationwide campaign on Logo Tv to follow shortly). To watch the commercial, log on to www.rizigospel.com or www.youtube.com/user/COMEOUT2009.
In spite of the supreme courts failure to protect us, we implore you to Please be encouraged as we are sure that we will eventually win the battle for equality.
