Title: PTannen's husband, David Cameron Strachan to speak at Marriage Equality Protest!
Post by: ptannen on November 15, 2008, 12:41:32 am: Howdy -

You may know that this Saturday will be a National Day of Protest for Marriage Equality. The expected turnout is more than 1million people in 300 cities in all 50 states and 10 countries world-wide! One of the protests (and probably the biggest one) will be at San Francisco City Hall

The San Francisco speakers are:

Emcee:
Scott Brogan

Speakers:
San Francisco Supervisor Daly
Cat Kim
Rev. Dr. Penny Nixon
Robert Haaland
David Cameron
Mark Oliver and Clark Pingree
Huda Jadallah
Raul Hernandez
Sean Chapin
Jewelle Gomez
Stuart Gaffney and John Lewis
Marit Knutson
Douglass Fitch
State Senator Elect Mark Leno
Andrea Shorter
Rev. Dr. Dorsey Blake
Lollipop Guild

Some of you have met my husband, David Cameron Strachan, one of the speakers at the Protest for Marriage Equality. He is the Marriage Equality USA's Intersex Outreach Director, the Human Rights spokesperson for the Organization Intersex International, and is on the Board of Advocates for Informed Choice, a legal organization working with intersex people.

Post by: LauraGigs on November 18, 2008, 10:35:11 pm: Yes, that was so brilliantly written. Zooming out of the immediate Prop-8 controversy to address broader, underlying issues.
