WA: Love for All March for Marriage Equality Planned for Next Week

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Same-sex marriage supporters will march in Cowlitz County Saturday and Sunday as part of a longer march from Vancouver to Olympia.

The Love for All March for Marriage Equality is to express support for legalizing gay marriage in Washington and will cover a total of 100 miles. Most participants will only walk in one or two segments.

The local segments include Kalama to Longview on Saturday and then Longview to Vader on Sunday, said Longview resident Eileen Arnold, a member of the Diversity Task Force at Longview United Methodist Church. Local organizers hope to see between 20 to 50 people walking on those legs of the trip, she said.
