STORMING CITY HALL - VALENTINES DAY


There's so much talk that the next big rally is on January 10, 2009 at all City Halls - again. At our majestic City Hall in Pasadena we had hundreds (some say up to 500) people rallying for what they believe in. While I truly believe the January 10, 2009 march will be BIG, I am putting forth a new date
for the biggest protest yet: Saturday, February 14, 2008 - Valentines Day, at 10:30 a.m.. Why not have thousands of mock weddings on the steps of your City Hall? As most of you know, Valentines Day is one of the biggest days to get married in the U.S. - it's just too bad our group will not be included!

Please forward this onto everyone you know and have them reference my blog, I will be posting updates and working closely with

Calif. Court To Hear Challenge To Gay Marriage Ban
California's highest court on Wednesday agreed to hear legal challenges to a new ban on gay marriage.

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted three lawsuits seeking to overturn Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that passed this month with 52 percent of the vote.

The court had ruled in May that gay couples could marry, but California voters overrode that on Nov. 4, changing the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman.

Gay advocates have mounted a legal challenge to the vote, arguing that the majority could not vote to strip rights from a minority in this fashion.

All three cases claim the ban abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable minority group. They argue that voters alone did not have the authority to enact such a significant constitutional change.
