''At the forefront of our struggle is the freedom to love and build families with whomever we choose – and not at the expense of the condemnation and exclusion of the law,'' Furmansky says. ''With a message at its core about love and family, Valentine's Day is the perfect time for Equality Maryland to storm Annapolis with our brigade of citizen activists.''
Nearly 400 people have registered to take part on Lobby Day and hundreds more are expected to attend the events in Annapolis, from 5 to 8 p.m., on Feb. 12.
The day kicks off with a rally at 5 p.m., featuring Fred Mason, executive director of Metro Washington (DC) Council AFL-CIO, Maryland State Sen. Gwendolyn T. Britt (D), and musical performer Lea Gilmore.
