About Malibu's Point Dume

Let's just toss all the propaganda aside for a moment and focus on one important thing - EQUALITY! Shouldn't everyone have equal rights regardless of whether you are gay, straight, bi, pansexual, white, black, purple, etc? At the end of the day we are all human and the inherent needs of all human beings remain the same. Color, gender, and sexual orientation don't negate that! We all want to have people in our lives who love us and everyone should have the same rights as everyone else. In the profound words of Cher Horowitz from Clueless, "Hello, this is America". At the end of the day, true love and companionship are not easy things to find (especially in LA). If you are lucky enough to find that special person who is willing to put up with your specific set of "issues" (insert neurosis here), you should hold on to them for dear life and have the right to marry them despite what the gender match is. Forget your personal stance on marriage - it's not about that. This is about sticking together as friends, family, neighbors, citizens/residents of the United States, Californians, and Angelenos.

Let's make sure other people's dreams become a reality and ensure none of us are ever in danger of having inherent rights taken away via a popular vote!!!When I say the Rich Kids Group is swimming for equality, I mean I'm doing the swimming although I hope to have some supporters out on the beach cheering me on! I know I have waited until the last minute to begin fundraising. I've been a competitive swimmer most or my life, but I have never done an open, ocean water swim. I'm not going to lie - I am terrified of this for some reason even though I love the ocean. I was putting this off hoping I could using business as an excuse not to participate. It's not the endurance, but rather the cold, autumn Malibu water and the unfamiliar terrain/marine life that I am scared of (I go to about waist deep when I am at the beach). This cause is just too important for me to flake and I believe in facing your fears head on vs. shying away from them. Starting Monday (don‘t you love the procrastination), it's two weeks of intense training: no cocktails, no late night sampler platters at Norm's or Denny's, eating veggies/chicken/salads all the time - YIKES! This is a very minor contribution compared to the struggles, discrimination, and courage those who have paved the way for this have had to endure.

With that said, please help me to reach that $2000 goal. It's a lot of money to raise in two weeks, but I think we can do it! If you have every wanted to see me in a Speedo, here's your chance or if you really don't want that visual seared into your brain, a donation can ensure event photos won't end up in your inbox under the guise of that hot new condo listing you were inquiring about!
