Tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters are in the streets in California and Salt Lake City and around the country protesting the votes banning same-sex marriage in California.Facebook link here
Join them! Make your voices heard right here in New York City.
We will tell the Mormon Church how we feel about its relentless campaign to condemn and control our lives. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was, by far, the biggest financer of California's heinous and hateful Proposition 8. The Mormon Church begged their members to donate money to Prop 8, pouring 20 million dollars into the campaign. And their attacks on us didn't start there and aren't about to end. They're plotting right now to bring their money and influence to bear against the LGBT community everywhere in this country, including trying to prevent marriage equality in New York.
Join us in speaking out against Mormon hate! Stop them taking away your rights!
PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION - BRING SIGNS -- ALERT THE MEDIA
Reports from CA are that people are getting wildly creative with their signs and actions. I thinks it's tremendous that New York is speaking out.
UPDATE: 10,000+ marched in Silverlake last night! Videos and article here.

Bravo! Take it to the streets, NYC gays. Wish I could be there.
Expose the evil Mormon cult for what it is.
My nabe. You know I'll be there.
What if we all found a local church, walked in early enough to get a seat in the front row, while wearing a Marriage Equality T-shirt? What if instead of singing the suggested hymns, we sang the following as loudly as we can.
Jesus loves me, this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Gay and straight to him belong.
Some may hate but they are wrong.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
The Bible tells me so.
What if we did this every week until we got marriage equality? Nonviolent civil disobedience makes a difference.
