SAME Alliance to Sponsor Militant Action for U.S. Supreme Court's "Day of Decision" on Marriage Equality

SAME Alliance (formerly San Diego Alliance for Marriage Equality) is sponsoring a militant rally and march through Hillcrest on the day the U.S. Supreme Court announces its decision in the marriage equality cases challenging California's Proposition 8 and the so-called "Defense of Marriage Act" (DoMA) passed by Congress in 1996, by which the federal government refuses to recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in a U.S. state or foreign country.

Regardless of which decision, DoMA or Prop. 8, is announced first, please meet at the Hillcrest Pride Flagpole (University Ave and Normal St. SD, CA. 92103) starting at 5 p.m.

***THE DECISION WILL MOST LIKELY COME DOWN MONDAY JUNE 17 OR MONDAY JUNE 24!***

The U.S. Supreme Court is about to make its decision on the legality of CA's Prop 8 and the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The date is unknown at this time, so be prepared to mobilize and join us at the Hillcrest Pride Flag for a rally with speakers and a march on the day when they are announced. Then stay at the Pride flag for an open mike or join us afterward at the San Diego LGBT Center at 7:30 p.m. for more activities in response to the decision.

Please help publicize this action by printing out one or more of the flyers below and distributing them. For more information, please visit the SAME Alliance Web site at www.samealliance.com
