Need help w/ signs for a gay rights march
Edited on Sun May-02-04 09:52 AM by kiahzero
Hey DUers,
I'm going to a gay rights protest march this afternoon, and need some suggestions for signs. I'm not exactly the best with sloganeering.

Any suggestions for what to put on them?

1. here are three
marriage is a human right, not a heterosexual privilege

biblical marriage = man + woman + woman + woman + woman + woman . . .

you will take my right to marry over my dead body

Also, keep in mind while you're making your signs that marriage is in fact a basic human right. So says the Supreme Court of the U.S. and the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The bible does not trump rights. The bible does not trump the Constitution. The FMA is unconstitutional. Etc.

8. Naturally, Allen beats me to the punch with the best of all!
However, I also like "Focus on Your Own Family" and "I'm Straight, Not Narrow"

4. Leave Us Alone
Political cartoonist Mark Fiore had a pretty good take on it, revealing the "Gay Agenda" to consist of the single item, 1) Leave Me Alone.

How about a simple sign that makes that plural:

The Entirety of
the Gay Agenda:

1) Leave Us Alone.

5. Attention: Fundamentalist Scum
Your Repulsive Superstitions Have Nothing to Do with My Rights as a Proud Gay American Citizen!

OK, it's a little long for a slogan, but it gets the point across. Come to think of it, since most of the fundies can't really read, a picture of bush* with a swastika on his forehead might be the best slogan of all.

6. I have a button that says "Gay Marriage is a Civil Right"
However, I'm sure you can find several bible verses of men marrying more than one women.

Or better yet - remind folks that eating fish without fins is an abomination - go protest Red Lobster!

both pro- and anti- (which are all pretty stupid, case in point: the guy w/ the plugs)

I like: Civil Unions = Middle of the Bus

These are pretty funny:

If you knew my girlfriend you'd want to marry her too
Jesus Hates Bad Signage
Homophobia is soooo 80s

Edited to add, after I saw post above about bible verses: http://www.loveisloveislove.com/bibleverses.htm
