protest

Here are three video-links from Aug 19th's pre-trial hearing and solidarity protest for the "Equality 9". Members of SAME, Canvass For A Cause, and other allies marched and chanted in support. The "Equality 9" were arrested one year ago during a sit-in at the County Clerk's office demanding that LGBT couples be granted marriage licenses.

Join us February 4th for a protest action to spread the word about the Anti-Homosexuality Bill that has been introduced in Uganda.We will meet around 4:50 pm to bullhorn and wave signs and let the people know about this horrible legislation. This event is also running in conjunction with Equality Across America's protest of the "Family's" ( a U.S.-led right wing group with more than 10,000 cells worldwide) National Prayer Breakfast. The infamous C Street House is the DC residence of far right U.S.

On the night of June 24, 2004, six gay men were driven from their home in Kingston, Jamaica and brutally beaten by a group of assailants who hurled gay slurs at them.  At least one of the men is permanently disabled from the attack, having lost the use of one of his eyes.  Amnesty International confirmed that one of the attackers was the reggae artist Buju Banton.  Contrary to some reports, Banton was never acquitted of the charges; they were unsurprisingly dropped by law enforcement.
