Day Of Decision: 10am PDT

The California Supreme Court will post their ruling on Prop 8 on their website at 10am San Francisco time. Like most of you, I'm expecting a split decision in which the Court upholds Prop 8 and allows existing marriages to stand. Win or lose, this is only the next step in a very long journey and same-sex marriage will surely be before California voters again in 2010 or 2011. Visit the Day Of Decision site for the locations of rallies to take place tonight in your town. New Yorkers will gather at Sheridan Square at 6pm for a march to Union Square at 6:30pm.

If Prop 8 Decision Comes Tomorrow....

A rally/protest will take place in NYC. Via Facebook:
Rumors are circulating that the California Supreme Court will hand down their decision on the validity of Proposition 8 on Thursday, May 21st.

If this happens -- New Yorkers will be meeting at 6 PM on Thursday, May 21st at Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village (Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue South) to either protest or celebrate the decision and continue to call for the New York State Senate to pass marriage equality before the end of this legislative session in June.

We will meet at Sheridan Square and march to southern steps of Union Square for a rally.

We will stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in California and continue to draw attention to the fact that marriage equality should be passed in the Empire State.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY NOW IN NEW YORK!

PLEASE BRING SIGNS AND INVITE FRIENDS and ALLIES!

Day Of Decision Rally Planned For CA

Activist Robin Tyler is organizing a statewide Day Of Decision rally to take place on the evening of the California Supreme Court ruling on overturning Prop 8.
"Win or lose, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community & our allies must respond immediately to the forthcoming California Supreme Court decision on whether to invalidate Proposition 8," says veteran activist Robin Tyler, who, with her wife, Diane Olson, were the first plaintiffs in the original landmark lawsuit to win marriage for same-sex couples in California. Tyler & Olson are also petitioners in the current legal challenge against Proposition 8. Tyler and her co-organizer, Andy Thayer have called for "Day of Decision" actions the night the court releases its decision. Both have been involved in organizing hundreds of local protests across the country, and Tyler has worked on organizing all 4 LGBT marches on Washington. National groups including, Join the Impact, Centerlink, (the National Association of LGBT Community centers), Metropolitan Community Churches & others have signed on to help organize across the nation.
Go to the Day Of Decision website and sign up for an emailed alert when the decision is expected.
