Why we're marching

October 5, 2009

October 11 will be a day to march--in Washington, D.C., and cities around the country to demand full LGBT equality, and nothing less.

The stage was set for this outpouring of strength and solidarity by tide of protest after California's Proposition 8 same-sex marriage ban passed last November. Now, activists across the country are taking a stand nationally, and setting their sites high--equal rights in all 50 states, backed up by the authority of the federal government.

SocialistWorker.org asked some of the people building this demonstration--both veterans of the movement and those new to activism--to give us their reasons for marching on October 11. Check back to SocialistWorker.org tomorrow for more statements.
