Where: Lake Worth, Fl. 33460
A peaceful gathering of like minded citizens that believe in fairness and equality for all. Demonstrating our outrage & disappointment at the passing of Amendment 2 in Fl. & Prop. 8 in CA. Bring your own signs.
Lots of folks have been looking for a way to show their support & solidarity since Nov. 4th. Joining in with events across the entire country is a fabulous start!
Spread the word far and wide.
In front of Lake Worth City Hall (7 N. Dixie Hwy. L.W., Fl. 33460) on November 15th at 1:30pm EST.
Our community WILL take to the streets and speak out against Proposition 8, Amendment 2 and all of the other pro-equality losses that we have faced in our lifetimes, in our parents’ lifetimes, and for many
generations before us. WE CAN’T DO THIS ALONE! WE NEED YOUR
HELP! We need organizers in every major city to work with us and
get out the protest! I know you’re all tired from all of the work
you’ve done for this great election year, but I’m asking for one more
push! Let the country hear our voices together. Let them
see that we are a strong, adamant, and powerful community that deserves
equal rights, and CAN’T BE DEFEATED!
Show up!!!
Be seen!!!
Be heard!!!

ST. PETERSBURG, FL - Impact-Florida will hold a peaceful and respectful demonstration and candlelight vigil outside of Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Carole Rome's wedding and reception.
Governor Crist first stated he believed in a "Live and Let Live" attitude when speaking about Amendment 2. However, he then became an outspoken proponent of Amendment 2, which passed by a margin of only 1.9%. The vague and ambiguous wording of this amendment could go much further than promised. It could adversely effect domestic partners benefits of both heterosexual and gay Floridians. DATE: December 12, 2008 PHASE #1: Demonstration Outside Wedding Ceremony TIME: 6 P.M. (Although the Wedding is planned for 7 P.M. Participants are asked to arrive no latter than 6:00 P.M..) LOCATION: Williams Park, 330 2nd Ave N, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701 (Between 3rd St. North and 4th St. N on 2nd Avenue North. (Park is directly across 2nd Ave. N from the First United Methodist Church.) Directions/Map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Saint+Petersburg&state=FL&address=330+2nd+Ave+N&zipcode=33701 Following Wedding Ceremony, participants will walk silently to second location. PHASE #2: Candlelight Vigil Outside Reception TIME: Candlelight Vigil Will Last One Hour LOCATION: Arbor/Trellis North Straub Park 400 Bayshore Dr NE, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701. (Across from Vinoy Resort.) DIRECTIONS/MAP: From Williams Park to North Straub Park: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Saint+Petersburg&state=FL&address=400+Bayshore+Drive+Northeast&zipcode=33701 For more information on Impact-Florida, visit our website at www.impact-florida.com.

I am not gay; however, I will be there and I will be taking my two sons with me. It is so important to me that we teach our children the true meaning of love. I hope other straight people and LOTS of children show up so that maybe the next generation will learn what ours has not been taught, acceptance.
