We’ve been organizing around one of the most historic civil rights events of our time — marriage equality at the Supreme Court! Justices heard arguments today challenging the Prop. 8 marriage ban in California. Tomorrow they’ll hear a challenge to the discriminatory, federal “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA). The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is part of the United for Marriage coalition, which has organized a vigil and two rallies at the Supreme Court, A Prayer for Love & Justice interfaith service, and other activities related to this watershed moment. More details here.
