Go to NYC !

 


 
May 17th 1954 is the date of the Supreme Court decision known as Brown v Board
of Ed of Topeka, KS. This nullified the "separate but equal" 1896 decision that
justified segregation and Jim Crow laws.
It is particularly fitting that on
this 55th anniversary, we push for full equality in marriage laws. To settle for
a "separate but equal" alternative such as civil unions creates a second class
citizenship status for gay marriages.

 























Rally for gay rights this SUNDAY featuring
Broadway stars

The NY State assembly is expected to pass Marriage
Equality TODAY! It then moves on to the Senate where we only need to convince
about eight more senators to vote for the bill and Gov. Paterson will sign it
into law. We are so close and have to do everything we can to make sure New York
joins the momentum that is sweeping the nation. We have just six weeks to get
the people to call their senators and make their voices heard before the session
ends and the bill dies.

The National Organization of Marriage (the
anti-gay organization that created the "Gathering Storm" video and now have Miss
CA as their spokesperson) will be protesting at Governor Paterson's Manhattan
office on Sunday. They are protesting him for presenting the marriage equality
bill and being such a strong supporter of civil rights.

As a response to
their protest we are throwing a Marriage Equality Rally in Midtown to show the
Governor and the State of New York, that we support equality for all. We have
been working with Broadway Cares, HRC, Civil Rights Front, Empire State Pride
Agenda and Marriage Equality NY to ensure that our response to their hate is
LOVE.
