The battle over the right of Lesbian and Gay people to marry is now the focus for whether or not LGBT people will finally win legal equality in the United States. With yet another federal constitutional amendment looming in 2006, the marriage issue continues to play a pivotal role in determining if gays will become legal equals in the U.S., and thus full citizens.

Past battles for legal equality have never been won by the courts and legislatures alone. Indeed, the most dramatic victories for equality have come only when people demanded their rights in the streets of America, and thus forced the government to implement the promises its politicians have made.

With all three branches of the federal government increasingly moving against gay people, we urgently need the "street heat" which birthed the modern LGBT movement and saved thousands of lives during the darkest days of the AIDS struggle. Please join the Gay Liberation Network for a CELEBRATION and PROTEST at 11 AM on Freedom to Marry Day, Saturday, February 11th, in front of the Cook County Marriage License Bureau, 118 N. Clark Street, Chicago (across the street from Daley Plaza).

Please go to www.GayLiberation.org to get downloadable posters and flyers -- spread the word and help defend our rights!
