Robin Tyler and Diane Olson renewed their marriage vows at the Beverly Hills Courthouse. It was a romantic and political statement as this couple remain committed to the fight for marriage equality in California.

Said Robin: "This is not about us anymore. If the [California] Supreme Court lets us stay married, it will be a hallow victory because we do not want to be the only ones on the freedom train. The Supreme Court needs to rule to overturn Prop 8 because what Prop 8 does - for the first time in American history - is take a group that is being considered equal by the Supreme Court out of the constitution. That is dangerous because that means that 51% or 52% of people can vote to take YOU out of the constitution. Labor out of the constitution - unions out of the constituion. It guts the Constitution of California. So what started out as a fight for all these years of loving couples all of a sudden exploded into one of the biggest civil rights cases in American history because now we'sre standing to defend our constitution. And we want you all to stand with us."
