With equal marriage rights for gay people emerging as a ‘hot button’ issue in this year’s election, the 6th Annual Matthew Shepard March for LGBT Rights will target the issue in the march set for 8 pm, Saturday, Oct. 2 at the corner of Halsted and Roscoe Streets in Chicago.
This year’s march is being co-sponsored by the Chicago Anti-Bashing Network and the new Equal Marriage NOW! coalition, that led most of the equal marriage rights protests beginning this spring. They have begun seeking endorsers for the event. E-mail CABNstopthehate@aol.com or telephone 888-471-0874.
