According to a handy zip-code-searching tool at the Chron, about 200 San Franciscans have stuck their noses into their neighbors' marriages by giving money to the anti-marriage campaign. Voting to end your neighbor's marriage? That's messed up. But here's what's even messier: less than 9,000 San Franciscans have donated to No On 8. Seriously, folks?

Fortunately, everyone knows that it sucks -- its opponents include the Governor, various mayors, elected judges, school boards, Democrats and Republicans, city councils, Jews, Mormons, Anglicans, oh and also a majority of Californians.

Hey gay couples! You're in terrible danger. Fortunately, we can help. Well, not we exactly -- SFist_Matt, to be specific, has taken a break from writing stern emails to Muni, and is now working on a really neat online video project to protect marriage equality. Check out Stop8.org -- Matt's working on a series of 30-second documentary videos, explaining who California's gay spouses are, why the freedom to marry is so important to us......
