RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Gavin Newsom was all but exiled by his entire party after 2004 because he held a mass gay wedding ceremony on the steps of SF City Hall--"too much, too soon" said Dianne Feinstein. That same year, voters in seven states banned same-sex marriage by referenda and California joined them in 2008
