GAY MARCH IN NYC THIS TUESDAY
N TUESDAY, MAY 26 IN RESPONSE TO
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT'S SAME-SEX MARRIAGE RULING
ADVOCATES FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY WILL REAFFIRM
SUPPORT FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN NEW YORK STATE
AS GOVERNOR- AND ASSEMBLY-SUPPORTED BILL NOW FACES SENATE
NEW YORK CITY (May 22, 2009) -- Several thousand civil rights
advocates will march across Manhattan on Tuesday in support of
marriage equality in New York State and across America. The march
will follow Tuesday’s decision by the California Supreme Court on the
legality of Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment passed by
voters last November, which overturns the right to same-sex marriage
in the state.
Demonstrators will meet at Sheridan Square (7th Avenue and West 4th
Street) at 6pm on Tuesday evening after the California Supreme Court
decision. The peaceful march will proceed east to Union Square for a
rally in support of same-sex marriage in New York State and across
America.
ATTENTION MEDIA: REPORTERS ARE URGED TO ARRIVE AT SHERIDAN SQUARE BY
5:30 FOR PRE-MARCH INTERVIEWS WITH MARRIAGE EQUALITY ADVOCATES AND
SAME-SEX MARRIED COUPLES.
"Whether the California Supreme Court decision is a victory for
equality or for homophobia, we will still march,” said Corey Johnson,
co-organizer of the protest. “And we will continue to demand
legalization of same-sex marriage in New York State.”
Before Prop. 8 was passed, 18,000 same-sex couples were married in
California. The Court decision will decide whether Prop. 8
invalidates these marriages, and whether all same-sex marriages are
outlawed in the state.
In New York State. Governor David Paterson has presented a bill to
legalize same-sex marriage. It recently passed in the State Assembly,
but faces resistance in the State Senate.
New York’s marriage equality groups (including MENY) are well
organized, speak with one voice and are committed to seeing the state
join its neighbors in passing marriage equality legislation this year.
A protest against Proposition 8 drew more than 10,000 marchers last
November 12 in Lincoln Square and Columbus Circle. A national day of
protest against Prop. 8 drew millions on Saturday, November 15, and
is recognized as the largest civil rights demonstration in U.S. history.

Hey Lady,
I've been sittin at the computer reading through your older blogs lately because I'm supposed to be writing my thesis, and I hate my thesis. So, I came across your story about Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep in Jan '06. That's so sweet, and your can easily find pics of them online now.
I figured this would be teh best place to comment this because you probably don't check your '06 blog entries anymore. lol
'ts me again Margaret. I posted the last on (at 5:26.) Still rereading your FUCKING AWESOME blog instead of writing my thesis, and I thought of 2 things I wanna say. 1) Thank MCDonna shit in August 2006 was HILARIOUS!!! OMG!!! Please post some more shit about her. You even profesythed (WTF - spelling - whatever) her adopting babies for publicity. So, when you said her minions search for the "whats-new factor" (I'm not quoting you - just adding emphasis.) so she can steal it, did you think that said minions would read criticisms of her and like suggest to her that she do those things. Maybe one day someone was in a like "Anna-wintour's-assistant-late-for-a-deadline" kinda hellacious situation in which they had to find Grandmadonna ("The Devil Wears a Tight Skin Suit") some new marketing ideas, and they caught your blog and suggested it. "Mrs. Khabballa, (wtf-spelling again. I'm too drunk to want to look it up.) You already have some kids. Why don't you steal Josephine Baker's revived idea from Angelina and adopt a bunch of great-great-grand kids." :P It could happen. Anyway, those comments were SERIOUS! Loved it.
2) You said in a blog (date?) your absolute favorite stars are Patti, Charo, and Barbara Eden. But have you noticed that you have like a FUCKING BILLION ZILLION MILLION TRILLION posts about Carol Channing. I think you should promoter to a favorite. In fact, THE favorite because she SOOOOO overshadows the others in your blogs. And I like the old broad too. She's probably my favorite old broad next to Mae West. Just wonderin.
Madonna sux. (giggling and waiting)>:)
