San Jose — May 14, 2008 — We have just learned that the California Supreme Court will be announcing its long-awaited decision on extending marriage equality to LGBT people. The decision is expected tomorrow, Thursday, May 15th, and we need you to join us at a rally in San Jose to react to the decision, regardless of what the court decides. Be a part of the celebration or protest — be a part of history!WHAT: Rally for Marriage Equality & In Reaction to California Supreme Court decision
WHEN: Thursday, May 15, 2008, 6:00pm
WHERE: Santa Clara County Government Building, 70 W. Hedding St., San Jose
Background: The California Supreme Court is considering several consolidated lawsuits filed on behalf of same-sex couples who have been denied access to marriage licenses and who are arguing that they are not being treated equally under law and under the California State Constitution. This decision is final, based on the state constitution and cannot be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. For more information on the case, please visit the Equality California website.
Buffy and I are trying not to get our hopes up, but Queers United and others have a hunch the news will be good.
For those of you who believe in equality and pray, say a Novena (or the non-Catholic equivalent) for us, will you? For those who don’t pray, please send us good vibes. Me? I’m chanting as we speak, sweetie darling.
