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.

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.

Top 5 reasons to attend any cities protest against Prop.8 & Amendment 2 on Saturday:

1. love... Love... LOVE.

2. the look on my 9 year old daughter's face when she found out Amendment 2 passed.

3. Something about "equality and justice for ALL"...

4. the tears in my 14 year old son's eyes when he found out Amendment 2 passed.

5. Did I mention LOVE?!?

6. ~ ~ ~ ~
