Equality March Texas to hold Marriage Equality Rally following November 3 elections
On Tuesday, voters will decide the fate of same sex marriage in Maine and the fate of the domestic partnership law in Washington State. Referendum 71 in Washington and Question 1 in Maine both seek to strip American LGBT citizens of rights and protections currently afforded to them through state laws. November 3 also marks the one-year anniversary of the passage of Proposition 8, the measure which took away marriage rights from LGBT people in California.
On Wednesday, Equality March Texas and the LGBT Community of North Texas will host a Marriage Equality Rally to:
- Express continued outrage a year after Prop 8
- Celebrate/protest rights preserved/lost in Maine and Washington
-Continue to demand changes in Marriage Equality in the state of Texas
- Kick start The DFW Week of Initiative, November 1-8, and begin the work of the Equality Across America Campaign
The rally will assemble at 7 p.m. at the Legacy of Love Monument (Cedar Springs at Oaklawn) and will officially begin at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
