There will also be an After Party at Guava Lamp (570 Waugh Dr.) from 3:00-5:00pm.We will start lining up at 12:15 or so at the corner or West Gray and Shepherd and move toward Waugh. Please wear a black shirt and bring signs displaying the rights of marriage (there are over 1,100 of them), or a call for Barack Obama to repeal DOMA. Remember to be peaceful and to say ON THE SIDEWALK.





LIGHT UP THE NIGHT FOR EQUALITY | DECEMBER 20 2008 | 5PM
WHAT IS IT?
On December 20th we ask that you join us again for a nation wide demonstration that will make an impact on the private sector. Candlelight vigils will be held at commercial centers in cities across the country in remembrance of the rights that once were for 18 000 marriages and in honor of the rights that one day will be again for EVERYONE.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Please take to your local commercial district at 5PM be it a shopping mall outdoor financial center you name it.
  • This will be a peaceful demonstration in the spirit of the holidays.
  • We'll dress alike: make or buy a "Second Class Citizen" t shirt.
  • This will be the culmination of our National Food Drive for Equality event (see below for details)
WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

  • Hosting peaceful candlelight vigils
  • We will stay silent unless asked a question we will not yell instigate or bare signs. Instead we will let our shirts do the talking and our candles pay our respects.Bring candles (battery powered if you'll be huddling inside).
  • Singing and/or silence encouraged...chanting is not....keep it peaceful and in the holiday spirit.

I am a Christian heterosexual who supports gay marriage, and I plan to attend on Saturday. What should my sign say?
