Queer Liberaction has been waiting for this day as California Supreme Court makes its decision on Prop 8. Either way it goes, QL is ready for action. While we catch up on our Memorial Day weekend, here is QL’s official word from their e-mail blast.
Day of Decision Rally
Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs
Tuesday, May 26
7:00 PM
After almost three months of waiting, the California Supreme Court will issue its ruling on the Proposition 8 Case at noon on Tuesday, May 26. Whether we’re handed a victory or a defeat we will rally at the corner of Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs this coming Tuesday at 7:00 in the evening. If the California Supreme Court overturns Prop 8 we will celebrate while pushing our win and riding the momentum of marriage equality that is sweeping this nation. If the court upholds Prop 8 and allows a narrow majority to strip civil rights away from a minority, we will protest as vigorously as possible. The only thing worse than a defeat is a passive acceptance of it.
On Thursday, March 5 the California Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the Proposition 8 case. Prop 8, the highest funded campaign on social issues in US history rescinded previously won marriage equality rights from LGBT people. Prop 8 passed on Election Day 2008. The California Supreme Court has heard arguments on a legal technicality regarding whether Prop 8 was a revision to rather than an amendment to the state’s constitution.
don’t stand idly by while the supreme court in california strips our lgbt brothers and sisters of their rights! come out and make some noise tonight! our legislators need to know that we are not a quiet minority!
