The Illinois "Family" Institute (IFI) is about to launch an attempt to write bigotry into the Illinois State Constitution. They are about to begin a campaign for an amendment to ban equal marriage rights for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Trans people. |
Join the Gay Liberation Network and all those who oppose legislative gay bashing at a demonstration outside the last in a series of IFI fundraising galas around the state. We will meet on Friday, June 10 at 6:00 PM outside the Columbia Yacht Club located at 111 N. Lake Shore Drive.
The keynote speaker of their $100-a-plate event is Phil Burress, the architect of Ohio's draconian constitutional amendment banning legal recognition not only of same-sex marriage, but any same-sex relationships. The IFI is announcing their attack on equal rights at this time in an attempt to use the 2006 Illinois gubernatorial election to demonize gay and lesbian people.
Help us to send Phil Burress packing! He can return to Ohio with the message that his
Illinois crusade is doomed from the start.
Tell the Illinois "Family" Institute that their crusade for hate throughout the state is bigotry.
STOP the drive for an anti-gay constitutional amendment in Illinois.
PROTEST at the COLUMBIA YACHT CLUB

When people respond to assaults on the institution of marriage, they are called "bigots", gay bashers, and attackers. |
