NOM has a March on Washington Too


Beware, Fools are marching this weekend

Dear Friends of Marriage,

Join us this Sunday, October 25th, as we gather to protect marriage in the nation’s capital! With the DC City Council threatening to impose same-sex marriage throughout the District, DC residents are gathering together to demand that their voice be heard and their right to vote not be taken away.

What: Stand4Marriage Rally!

When: Sunday, October 25th
3:00 - 5:00 pm.

Where: Freedom Plaza (14th & Pennsylvania NW)

Who: Pastors, community leaders, concerned citizens, and YOU! Please bring a friend!

RSVP: Please email stand4marriagedc@gmail.com to let them know you’ll be there!

The Stand4MarriageDC team, led by Bishop Harry Jackson, has filed an initiative petition to preempt the DC City Council’s plans to push through a same-sex marriage bill co-sponsored by 10 of the Council’s 13 members. If successful, the initiative would put same-sex marriage before DC voters. The Board of Elections, however, is threatening to reject the marriage initiative, claiming it violates the DC Human Rights Act, and is thus ineligible to be voted on as an initiative measure.

Join us in telling the DC Council that they’ve ignored the people of the District long enough. When it comes to marriage, it’s time to let the people have the final say.

It looks like the weather will be perfect . . . so tell your friends, announce it at church, and then come on down to take a Stand For Marriage in our nation’s capital! Hope to see you there!

Faithfully,

Brian S. Brown Executive Director National Organization for Marriage 20 Nassau Street, Suite 242 Princeton, NJ 08542


If you are close, try to go and check this mess out.

Interesting Quote: Barney Frank


"The only thing they're going to be putting pressure on is the grass"


Barney talking about the National Equality March.

It's not funny and it is.

Hey Marchers


Hey all

If you are going to the National Equality March, please be safe, be good and represent our community well.

All eyes are on us, so represent for realz.

And please none of these tired "big dick contest at the club" "sex parties" or "hook-up games". This is an Equality March, not Dore Alley!

Get it together and stay together. Y'all are there, so y'all better bring it!
