Marcha Somos Familia : We Are Family
Unase con nosotros en MARCHA contra la discriminación y la homofobia. Envite y traiga su familia, amigos, vecinos, y todos sus queridos!
Join us as we MARCH against discrimination and homophobia. Bring your friends, family, neighbors, and all your loved ones.
We, the greater Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Communities of Los Angeles County, will march alongside our parents, siblings, aunts, cousins, grandparents and all other family members in peaceful protest against the passing of Proposition 8.
We invite everyone to join us on January 4th, 2009 at 10 AM at the corner of Soto Street and E. Cesar Chavez Ave as we march east on Cesar Chavez toward Belvedere Park in East Los Angeles.
We are a community of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual teachers, students, leaders and not-for-profit agency workers deeply invested in the future of the state of California. We are sons and daughters of immigrants, U.S. citizens, public servants, war veterans, and working-class citizens devoted to progress and change. We are productive, tax-paying citizens, who as a result of Proposition 8 have been constitutionally re-categorized as second class citizens. As an indispensable fabric of the greater American cultural quilt, we believe we are entitled to the inalienable right to equality, justice, liberty, and the right to marry those we love.
Please march with us against homophobia and constitutional discrimination. It is our intention not only to voice our disappointment on the passing of Proposition 8 but to also encourage dialogue and love among all friends, families, and allies of the LGBT communities. We stand together against any type of discrimination whether based on sexual orientation, immigration status, economic background or any other characteristic. We are not second-class citizens; we are your neighbors, we are your co-workers, we are your cousins, we are your brothers, we are your sisters, and most importantly, WE ARE FAMILY: SOMOS FAMILIA
