UnMarriage Until Gay Marriage

Popular performance artist and one-time NYC mayoral candidate Rev. Billy will stage a group unmarriage ceremony in Central Park tomorrow in which participants will vow not to get married until everybody can.

Join hundreds of couples at The Bethesda Fountain in Central Park this Valentine's Day for a mass ritual in support of the rights of ALL people to marry whomever they wish. Send a strong message to elected leaders in New York City and the rest of the country. Marriage is a civil right, unmarriage until gay marriage, no marriage until gay marriage. Brides and Grooms will suspend their vows in a ritual officiated by Reverend Billy. Tragic and hopeful love songs will be sung. Participants will be issued an official unmarried certificate suitable for framing. The unwed are also welcome to join the ritual as we declare a moratorium on all weddings until gay weddings are legalized and California Prop 8 is overturned. Marriage is a civil right, unmarriage until gay marriage, no marriage until gay marriage.

Rev. Billy is a freakin' riot, he marched in front of the LGBT bloggers in last year's Pride parade. The unmarriages take place at 1pm at the Bethesda Fountain. I will attend. Join me.
