Yesterday, many folks (haters and supporters) attended the Anti-Gay marriage rally in the Bronx. This was designed by the hateful Sen. Ruben Diaz with a little help from NOM. Please check out the video clips

Tennesseans Rally against the "Don't Say Gay' Bill
The 'Don't Say Gay' Bill has fired up some Tennesseans to take action. Over 70 people rallied against the bill, hoping to drum up more support to stop it.
Thursday's half-hour rally was held a few feet away from the Oak Ridge Turnpike in front of the Civic Center and across the street from Oak Ridge High School. Teachers, students, parents, clergy, and community leaders gave short speeches and held signs with slogans such as "Stand on the Side of Love" and "It's okay to say gay."
Passing motorists showed their support by honking or giving thumbs-up signals.
"Gay doesn't mean bad," said Alesha Hicks, an Oak Ridge High School senior and GSA president. She said Campfield's legislation would tell children that bullying because of sexual orientation is OK.
Those who spoke at the rally, organized by the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church and the GSA at ORHS and Karns High School, said gay students have to endure ignorance, intolerance, and regular name-calling -- and they sometimes live in fear of brutality.
There are more rallies planned. Maybe this will spread throughout my home state.

DADT Rally on Friday in D.C.
Servicemembers Legal Defense Network will rally in D.C. on Friday.
This is what they had to say:
We call upon the Senate and the President to remain in session and in Washington until the National Defense Authorization Act is passed - which includes the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The Senate is scheduled to break for holiday vacation; we can't let them leave. We must show our rage for repeal and insist the Senate stay in Washington until they have finished the job. We implore all who support repeal to join us outside the Senate this Friday. As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said, ‘If not now, when?'
The lame-duck vote on repeal was set up and dictated by some of the same Senators - like Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) -- who are now delaying to kill the bill. They wanted the Pentagon report - now they have it. They wanted hearings - now they're done. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he is determined to pass the defense bill with repeal. Senators must not be allowed to hide any longer behind process, procedure, and tax cuts for the wealthy, while the discrimination continues. Let's take a stand. Let's demand that senators not go home until their work is done.
Join the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network at the Senate THIS Friday, December 10th, at noon, for the "Mission: Incomplete" Rally.
WHEN:
Friday, December 10th
12 p.m.
WHERE:
Constitution Ave. & Delaware Ave. at Upper Senate Park
(Near U.S. Capitol)
Washington, DC
