Marriage advocates will gather in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday for the Stand 4 Marriage Rally, weeks after the D.C. City Council voted unanimously in favor of an ordinance recognizing same-sex "marriages" from other states.
The legislation faces a final vote in May, as well as congressional review. In addition, a bill to legalize same-sex “marriage” in the District could be introduced soon.
“We’ve got to really rally together," event coordinator Derek McCoy said. "You’re not just talking one ethnic group. Everybody has to come together and really work on this issue collectively."
The rally runs from 10 a.m. to noon EDT at the Freedom Plaza, which is across the street from the Wilson Building.
“We’re calling on all clergy, all concerned citizens, people from around the region and in the area to come to D.C. to make your voice known," McCoy said.
