Former Laker and basketball hall of famer Magic Johnson has leant his voice to the fight against California’s discrminatory Proposition 8.

The point guard recorded the following message that will be going out to voters in the golden state:

“This is Magic Johnson calling to ask you to join me and Barack Obama in opposing Proposition 8. Prop 8 singles out one group of Californians to be treated differently – including members of our family, our friends, and our coworkers. That is not what California is about. So this Tuesday, vote no on Proposition 8. It is unfair and wrong. Thanks.”

Every vote counts.

If you believe in equality, vote NO to 8 on Tuesday.
