Rescue Marriage ("Safeguarding Marriage From The Evils Of Divorce") is a tongue-in-cheek movement to ban opposite-marriage divorce in California - thus "protecting traditional marriage". From Joe.My.God:
Rescue Marriage founder (and straight ally) John Marcotte said last year, "People who supported Prop 8 weren't trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That's why I'm confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical."
California gave Rescue Marriage permission this week to start collecting the 694,000 signatures required to appear on a state-wide ballot. Yes, it's sad that any old group who can gather enough signatures can get on the CA ballot, but how funny would it be if Rescue Marriage was successful?!?
