I am at the AZ State Capitol with roughly 200 people right now...

The crowd is growing by the minute. The Facebook event has 1100 RSVPs. In about an hour we will begin our march around the capitol in protest of SB1062.

The Arizona legislature is resisting against an unstoppable tide of national support for gay rights. But their efforts are futile. We refuse to let religious zealots control the dialogue in this state.

We're here
We're queer
Fucking get used to it already!




Update: The protest was a huge success. I'd say at least a couple thousand supporters showed up. We had half a dozen state senators and representatives who voted against the law speak to the crowd as well as the gubernatorial candidate Fred DuVal.

[bkanderson76]

33. WOW....Stand Up Arizona

[misterhighwasted]

34. Attention to Arizona voters & campaign donors: Here's how we silence them.

Steven Yarborough Dist 17 is the Arizona senator who introduced SB 1062. He is a republican who is up for reelection this year.
He is the primary author of the SB 1062.

Reps. Nancy Barto, Dist. 15, up for election 2014, and Bob Worsley, Dist. 25, up for election 2014, both co-sponsored the bill.

Please place a note on your calendar to donate to the opposing candidates before the November elections. Any help would be appreciated by the people of Arizona to remove these intolerant legislators from office. We can take out the bullys if we all work together.

My Gratitude to Du

[2theleft]

46. That's great information &

Welcome to DU!

[Cha]

35. Awesome! thanks Gc.. nt

[JimDandy]

36. Good for you. Action: it's the American way, baby! n/t

[Zorra]

37. Thanks!

Four of us are coming down to Phoenix on Friday and if bill is not vetoed we'll be there.

[blondie58]

38. So proud of you

I am with you in spirit. Love is love.

[Politicub]

39. Kick some ass for equality

[MuseRider]

40. YAY! Sending support from Kansas!

We killed our bill and have our Equality Day of Action tomorrow with a morning of lobbying and an afternoon rally. Good luck, sending support and strength.

[JusticeForAll]

42. Hi Gravity! I was there too!

When we marched to the Executive building I'm guessing there were anywhere between 3000 and 4000 of us! It was a great turnout. From the position where your photo was taken, I think we were on the other sight of the big circle.

Hope (and work) for a veto!

[Gravitycollapse]

45. Yeah I'm guessing at least a couple thousand were there.

I'm pretty confident Brewer will veto the bill. But if she doesn't, these kind of protests are going to balloon in size and it's going to get crazy.

[mountain grammy]

43. yay, I'm there in spirit!

[gopiscrap]

44. Excellent

[2theleft]

47. I wish I could have been there!

My sister lives in AZ, and I would have made her attend in my place if I had known!

Sounds like a successful gathering. Fingers in Virginia are crossed for a big veto!

[Gravitycollapse]

48. I'm nearly certain it will be vetoed. Jan Brewer isn't an idiot.

Nearly everyone is coming out against the law. Even a few of the senators who originally voted for it are saying it should be vetoed.

[Jefferson23]

49. Highly recommend. n/t

[SunSeeker]

50. K & R

[democratXX]

51. Recommend

They tried getting this passed in Idaho and the bill was withdrawn- amazing, Idaho does the right thing once in a while. Thanks for showing up and making noise.

[trublu992]

52. I'm happy to see this in the midst of all the

craziness in Arizona. This took a lot of courage!

[Gravitycollapse]

57. We have a lot of good people in AZ.

And a growing body of community activists. This state might go blue sooner than Texas.

[trublu992]

65. Oh yeah, I think people are sleeping on Arizona its much more primed to go blue than Texas

[cui bono]

53. Exellent!

[merrily]

54. Hooray for you and everybody else who participated.

[sarge43]

55. Thank you

[marions ghost]

56. Thank you for showing up

[marvinsacco]

58. It's great

59. I was there as well. Will be there again tonight

[Gravitycollapse]

61. I'm going to try and be there but i have a late dr appointment.

I might miss out.

[bigdarryl]

62. What about GA. there trying g to do the same thing

[saidsimplesimon]

63. Dear Gravity thank you. I have a solution.

Business owners don't need a law to keep those they disdain from spending money with them. All they need is a press release, a sign on the door and a record of funding elections to elect bigots.

It's simple (for the haters), all you haters need do is follow the instructions above and I guarantee you I will not shame myself by spending any greenbacks at your place of business. I can only hope those who receive this message will do the same.

[msanthrope]

64. Kick!!! nt
