DC: Hundreds Rally for Gay Marriage Bill

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

On the eve of an historic vote in the Washington, D.C. City Council that could make same-sex marriage legal in the District, an enthusiastic crowd filled northwest Washington’s Kennedy Recreation Center on Monday night to show support for that legislation.

To thunderous applause, David Catania, the openly gay councilman who drafted the bill, and others addressed the rally, sponsored by the Campaign for All D.C. Families, D.C. Clergy United, and the Human Rights Campaign, to cheer on the legislation, even though passage of the bill is all but a done deal.

“What we are doing friends is profoundly American,” said Catania as he thanked supporters of the bill for their efforts. Earlier this month, the D.C. City Council took its first of two votes on the issue of allowing same-sex marriage in the nation’s capital, passing the bill 11 to 2 and final passage of bill is expected later today.

NJ: Students and Activists Rally for Gay Marriage

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Despite the cold and rain, student activists and advocates for marriage equality gathered on the steps of the New Jersey Statehouse yesterday morning to voice their support for New Jersey’s gay marriage proposal. “Marriage equality is not just about marriage, it’s about civic equality,” said Mike Tracey, a student from The College of New Jersey in Ewing. “It’s about love. Let’s hear it for love.”

The crowd of more than 100 people cheered back eagerly, some waving signs that read, “Separate But Equal is NOT EQUAL.” The rally was put together by TCNJ’s Students For Equality group.

The New Jersey legislature is expected to take up marriage equality legislation this week, Sen. Ray Lesniak, D-Union, told a crowd of supporters outside the statehouse Thursday afternoon.

NY: Gay Marriage Rally Draws Hundreds to Times Square

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Hundreds showed up in Times Square on a rainy Wednesday night and stood behind a large banner labeled “Crime Scene” to express publicly their outrage at the State Senate’s defeat of same-sex marriage in New York State. “Well, this is a crime scene. What they did in Albany today was a crime,” said a protester.

“We are beyond words, feelings about 38 senators telling me that because the person I love is not the gender they believe it should be, I can’t marry that person,” said another. “As a gay woman who is also black, I felt very disturbed at the trend this country is taking and not recognizing the rights of all of its citizens,” said a third.

Long-time partners David and Fred from Manhattan told NY1 they are waiting to tie the knot in the state where they live and that they want equal rights.

NJ: Gay Marriage Supporters Rally at the Statehouse

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Gay marriage supporters flocked to the Statehouse this morning as lawmakers prepared for their first day of the lameduck session. Steven Goldstein, chair of Garden State Equality, rallied at least 150 protesters on West State Street, directing them to take advantage of legislative committee meetings and speak with their senators.

Goldstein said their job today was to “see and be seen” in T-shirts bearing the slogan, “Equality, the American Dream.”

Although the Senate Judiciary committee is not considering the bill today, gay marriage proponents are demonstrating their support for S1967 anyway.

Guam: Nearly 200 Attend Rally in Support of Civil Partnerships Bill

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

When University of Guam student Rose Hermoso began to question why her rights as a heterosexual weren’t shared with other members of the community, she organized a rally.

Hermoso, together with three other University of Guam students, held a peaceful rally last night at the Plaza de España, to support civil rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, community of Guam, she said yesterday.

“They’re not asking for anything other than the same civil rights as the rest of us,” Hermoso said. “We have to do this.”
