This
Saturday,
November
15,
2008,
there
will
be
a
simultaneous
national
protest
to
bring
to
the
forefront
the
injustice
during
the
recent
general
elections
concerning
gay
marriage.
On
Tuesday,
November
4,
the
states
of
Florida,
California
and
Arizona
adopted
measures
that
would
prohibit
gay
marriage,
and
in
the
case
of
California,
take
away
the
rights
that
gays
already
enjoyed.
Californians
have
been
protesting
nonstop
since
their
constitutional
amendment
passed.
Florida’s
legislation,
“marriage
protection”
Amendment
2,
changes
the
Florida
state
constitution
to
specify
marriage,
domestic
partnerships,
or
any
sort
of
legal
recognition
of
relationships
may
only
be
between
one
man
and
one
woman.
The
protests,
which
take
place
together
at
1:30
p.m.
EST
(10:30
a.m.
PST),
will
be
held
on
various
city
halls
throughout
the
country.
Join
the
Impact,
the
organizers
of
this
protest,
say
that
protests
have
been
organized
in
all
50
states.
In
South
Florida,
protests
will
be
staged
at
the
city
hall
steps
in
Fort
Lauderdale,
Miami
Beach,
and
Lake
Worth.
