rmTHE WEDDING MARCH: CROSSING THE BRIDGE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY
The Wedding March
Sunday, May 23
http://www.theweddingmarch.org
TELL PRESIDENT BUSH YOU WON'T BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!
DEMAND YOUR MARRIAGE RIGHTS HERE IN NY!
CELEBRATE MASSACHUSETTS FOR BEING THE FIRST STATE TO MARRY SAME-SEX COUPLES!
On May 23, something spectacular is going to happen.... Thousands of people will be marching across the Brooklyn Bridge for the marriage equality currently denied to same-sex couples.
Couples, elected officials, clergy, and gay and non-gay allies will join together to demand equality in NY State, as we celebrate the Massachusettes marriages.
What: THE WEDDING MARCH: Crossing the Bridge for marriage equality
When: Sunday, May 23, 11 a.m.
Where: We will begin at Cadman Plaza (line-up at Cadman Plaza East) in Brooklyn and end in a rally at Battery Park.
Couples will walk across the bridge two-by-two, followed by their supporters. The marchers will be wearing a number, signifying one of the 1,138 Federal rights same-sex couples are denied to all same-sex couples, even in Massachusetts.
All are welcome. Make this day special by bringing family, friends, neighbors and colleagues!
