Fort Worth-Light the Way to Justice Rally

Tarrant County College G.S.A. “TREE” & GetEqualTx present “Light the Way to Justice Rally” for Fort Worth "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness." - The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 Homosexuals are not given equal treatment of our laws. As of today, same-sex couples are denied 1,138 benefits, rights, and protections that are afforded to heterosexual couples in the United States. There is no equality. On Tuesday, March 26, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear the case of Hollingsworth v. Perry, a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Proposition 8, California's ban on same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, March 27, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Winsor v. United States. This lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman, and defines a spouse a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or wife. These cases are historical as they have the potential to pave the way for marriage equality nationwide, finally allowing same-sex couples to marry and be afforded the same 1,138 rights that are afforded to other married American couples. Equality advocates nationwide will engage in demonstrations. We challenge all people of Fort Worth to WAKE- UP from their abusive relationship with society and to WAKE UP from being treated like a second-class-citizen because they are homosexual, and join us in “modest pajamas” for equality served up with coffee and donuts at sunrise on Monday, March 25th. C.D. Kirvin-Dallas Voice Person of the Year. TREE in conjunction with GET EQUAL TX will be holding a rally for Fort worth to WAKE UP!. That evening, many attendees will migrate to Dallas to join the rest of the North Texas LGBTQ community and add their voice to the multitudes across this country as they cry out for equality.
