Interim Exectuve Director Bruce Anderson on Prop 8 Decision
The California Supreme Court Upholds Prop 8; Make Your Voice Heard at Day of Decision Protests Tonight
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Today the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage in California. “LGBT New Yorkers aren’t surprised to hear that Prop 8 was upheld today, but we’re certainly disappointed–and angry,” says the Center’s Interim Executive Director Bruce Anderson. “Yet at the same time, we’re buoyed at good news here on the East Coast and in the Midwest in recent weeks, and are more determined than ever to make New York a marriage state soon!”
The Center urges our community to protest the decision tonight at the Prop 8 Day of Decision Protest in Manhattan, just blocks away from the Center.
