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.
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 hate and discrimination! Stop them taking away your rights!
I'm not usually the biggest fan of street protests- I vastly prefer channeling those resources into electoral activities and influencing policymakers via calling their offices and such. However, since this took place in California, there is little we can do to affect the California legislature. But we can bring negative attention to the Mormon Church's role in financing Prop 8 and perhaps use that shame to convince moderate New York Mormons to pressure their leaders to not take such bigoted stances against the gay community.
