Seattle: Protest the MayDay for Marriage/Christian Right
Seattle Hosts 'Mayday for Marriage'

http://www.family.org/cforum/fnif/news/a0031772.cfm

Evangelical churches are entering the battle to defend the traditional family.

Hundreds of churches in Seattle will gather May 1 to take a stand for traditional marriage. Organizers of the event expect a full house at Safeco Field — the stadium where baseball's Seattle Mariners play.

The event is called "Mayday for Marriage" — and for good reason, according to its organizer, Dr. Ken Hutcherson.

"When you hear the mayday call with ships and planes, everyone comes with their available resources," he said. "And we as a church have called out a mayday for marriage." more at link...

Here's the protest info:

Protest James Dobson & May Day for Marriage Rally May 1

Focus on the Family's James Dobson will address the May Day for Marriage Rally. Dobson is a high visibility, arch-homophobe, and he will be a big draw for our opponents.

We are organizing a "Welcoming Pary" for them. Assemble Saturday, May 1, 2004, between 10:30 AM - 11 AM. The earlier you arrive the better. Plan to stay until noon.

Where: Corner of S. Occidental St. and Royal Brougham, north end of Safeco Field. We can legally be there as long as we DO NOT BLOCK SIDEWALKS, PARKING LOTS, STADIUM ENTRANCES OR PASSAGE TO THE RALLY. Use the Internet and your phone to spread the word to all our supporters.

For more information contact: [email protected]

The problem with a counter protest is it us akin to trying to teach a pig to fly - its a waste of time and it annoys the pig.
