RALLY FOR EQUAL MARRIAGE RIGHTS IN CHICAGO--THURSDAY

Join the fight for equal rights in Chicago
RALLY AND MARCH FOR EQUAL MARRIAGE IN CHICAGO
THURSDAY, MARCH 11th at 12noon
69 W. Washington
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK

Last week hundreds of supporters for equal marriage
rights in Cook County came out to demand that Mayor
Richard Daley and County Clerk David Orr make good on
their claims to support same-sex marriage. The
message from demonstrators was loud and clear: Actions
speak louder than words, issue marriage licenses for
all people in Cook County who want them--regardless of
sexual orientation. Several couples who attempted to
get licenses were rejected. But the city will not get
the last word on this. Hundreds of demonstrators
pledged to return to the County Clerk's office this
week to assert our rights for equal rights, equal
protection under the law and equal marriage.

Several politicians who say they support our right to marry will be having a press conference at Federal Plaza to announce their opposition to a federal ban on same-sex marriage. We welcome their opposition to a constitutional amendement but we still demand that they use their power and influence to immediately grant marriage licenses to all couples who want them. Please join us and get involved in the movement for equal marriage NOW!
