Utah gay marriage supporters predict surge of activism

[greenmutha]

From The Salt Lake Tribune:

Proponents of gay marriage rallied in Salt Lake City Saturday, as speakers predicted a groundswell of activism would be spurred by the LDS Church's support of Proposition 8 in California.

"I'm so glad Salt Lake City has become ground zero," said Jeff Key, a former U.S. Marine and Iraq War veteran who was discharged after coming out as gay.

He predicted that when gay marriage is one day legalized, "We'll say, 'This is the Place.' "

Key was the keynote speaker at the event, organized by grass-roots group Join the Impact at the City-County Building in Washington Square. It was one of 80 rallies planned nationally Saturday to protest same-sex-marriage bans, including Proposition 8.

1. No better place....

Than to have it take place in the backyard of those who so easily and conveniently re-defined marriage at the drop of a hat for themselves in order to get statehood. Whe its suits them, its ALL good!

2. nice story!!!

here's to Mr Key for standing up. I am more than willing to be in a rally every couple weeks to push through equal rights.

Hope the rest of you all are too! We can do this - and Universal Healthcare!
