Gay Group Protests Amendment With Wedding Cake
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/061705txAmend.htm

The Lesbian Gay Rights Lobby of Texas has chosen its symbol of protest against a proposed state constitutional amendment: the wedding cake.

The group opposes a November ballot proposal that would define marriage as a union solely of a man and a woman.
"The historical precedent, really, is what makes this such a critical issue," Heath Riddles, the lobby group's development director, said of the proposed amendment. "This is the first time every Texan will have the opportunity to go to the ballot box and vote up or down -- thumbs up or thumbs down -- on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community."
