Cleveland City Hall to Host "Marriage Equality Rally"

Activists to gather in front of Cleveland City Hall in support of Marriage Equality.

On Sunday, March 24, 2013 the steps of Cleveland City Hall will be flooded with thousands of individuals there to show support for the two recent court cases being brought before the Supreme Court this week.

 

The Supreme Court of the United States will begin listening to oral arguments on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8 on March 26-27, 2013. The Defense of Marriage Act, also known as DOMA, is a federal law that states that marriage is between one man and one woman and allows states not to recognize same-sex marriages performed in jurisdictions where it is legal. Proposition 8 reversed the ability for same-sex couples in California to legally marry.
