MORE THAN A THOUSAND MARYLANDERS SET TO
RALLY FOR FAIRNESS IN ANNAPOLIS ON MONDAY
RALLY FOR FAIRNESS IN ANNAPOLIS ON MONDAY
With anti-gay legislators in Annapolis still pushing to write LGBT Marylanders and their families OUT of the State Constitution, Equality Maryland announced what will likely be the largest ever statewide congregation of LGBT and allied individuals. A rally will take place in Lawyer’s Mall, in front of the Maryland State House, at 5:00 p.m. Monday, February 13, 2006. The rally is to oppose a proposed amendment to Maryland's state constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
The gathering coincides with Equality Maryland’s annual lobby day, whose focus this year is to urge legislators to reject placing discrimination into the very document designed to protect the rights of all citizens.
If you live in Maryland, please plan to attend! If you don't, please share this with everyone you know in Maryland, and urge them to attend!

HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEAT FLORIDA'S
ANTI-GAY ADOPTION BAN
On Tuesday, February 14th, Florida's infamous ban on lesbian and gay adoption will be voted on in a committee of the Florida state legislature - for the first time in nearly 30 years. The Committee on Children and Families will hold an historic hearing on Senator Nan Rich's bill (SB-172) this Valentine's Day. When passed, this bill will allow judges to bypass the ban and, guided only by the best interest of each child, place children in permanent homes with loving, qualified lesbian and gay parents.
