LA Du'ers: Wanna protest tonight?

[ronnykmarshall]

Here's the 411:

West Hollywood Rally and Demonstration 7 p.m. Today

Say NO to Bush Call to Enshrine Discrimination Against GLBT People

WHERE: Corner of Santa Monica and San Vicente boulevards,

West Hollywood (Rain Location: West Hollywood Auditorium, West Hollywood Park)


WHEN: 7 p.m. TODAY, Tuesday, Feb. 24 (Gather at 6:30 p.m.)


This morning, President Bush called for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would ban same-sex marriages, thus permanently relegating gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people to second-class status.

If passed, this would be the first time in history that the U.S. Constitution has been used to deny rights to an entire class of people.

Join the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, the City of West Hollywood, the National Black AIDS Institute, Metropolitan Community Church, Bienestar, Lambda Legal, the Family Pride Coalition and other community organizations in saying NO to this attempt to enshrine prejudice and discrimination in our U.S. Constitution!

For more information about tonight's rally, call 323-860-5858.
