Rally to mark passage of new gay rights law
To celebrate a new state law making it illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation -- and in anticipation of an upcoming state Supreme Court decision on gay marriage -- Marriage Equality Now will hold a rally today.
Participants in the March & Rally for Marriage Equality will gather at noon at Seattle Central Community College, near the corner of Broadway and Pine Street, and walk to Westlake Plaza for a rally from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
Scheduled speakers include state Rep. Ed Murray, Green Party Senate candidate Aaron Dixon and gay rights advocates, including attorney Jamie Pederson of Lambda Legal; the Rev. Monica Corsaro, of the Religious Coalition for Equality; Marsha Botzer, board member of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; Drew Emery, director of the documentary "Inlaws and Outlaws"; and Davina Kotulski, author of "Why You Should Give a Damn About Gay Marriage."
For more information contact Jodi Hyde, co-chairwoman of Marriage Equality Now, at 206-200-9577.
