Nine protests against the recent ballot initiatives and referenda in three states banning same-sex marriages are scheduled in New York tomorrow, as are more protests in all 50 states and abroad, according to the group MoveOn.org.
In an E-mail sent moments ago, the group wrote:
Along with our tremendous excitement over Barack Obama's victory, a lot of us are sad and angry about a different election result—the passage of California Proposition 8, which reversed marriage equality and wrote discrimination into the California Constitution.
Many people worked hard to defeat this measure—including MoveOn members, who contributed over $300,000 to defeat it. But agents of intolerance used fear-mongering to eke out a win.
After the election, people across California immediately took to the streets, vowing to put the state on the right side of history by overturning Prop 8.
Now folks everywhere are coming together to add their voices. Tomorrow (Saturday) there will be rallies in support of marriage equality in every single state.
The California-based Courage Campaign is already working with other groups on a two-year grassroots plan to overturn Proposition 8 in the 2010 election, according to the E-mail.
