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 a gay- African American, and I want us as an LGBT community to stand up for the civil rights my parents, and their parents fought for – the right to be wed. I am planning a protest outside of the Osceola Court House, I have yet decided on the date. Please contact me so I can plan a well-organized protest, and bring everyone you know with you. We need to catch people’s attention and in order to do that we need to come out in great numbers.

We should be able to marry who ever we love whether they are gay or straight. If you want to be part of this effort please call me: 407-486-4306
