In case you haven’t heard, there are going to be demonstrations tomorrow (Saturday, November 15), all over the country, to protest the banning of same-sex marriage in California and other states. The protests are happening in all 50 states, so if you live in the U.S., there should be one not that far from you. (There are even some protests happening in other countries.)
To find out when and where a demonstration near you will be happening, check out the Join the Impact website. Show up if you can! If you’re ticked off about the banning of same-sex marriage and the idea that civil rights can be taken away from a particular group by popular vote, then make your voice heard. Hope to see you there!
Thanks for posting this Greta! Now that I know, I will be taking my kids to the Lexington, KY event.
I’d just like to point out that Texas is a huge state, and it’s easy to be several hundred miles from something happening here and still be in the same state. Luckily, it seems someone already thought of that, and we’re having more than just the one.
There was a great rally today in Chicago! Thousands of GLBT people and allies braved the wind and cold to peacefully show their support for marriage equality. Thanks for the reminder and support, Greta.
I just got back from the protest in DC. Judging by photos I’ve seen, y’all in California had much better weather than we did.
Has anyone pointed out that, by the same “logic” employed by religious spokespeople during Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Tsunami, god must be pissed at the Prop 8 vote, and is letting us know in no uncertain terms by sending wildfires to smite bigots and hypocrites?
