Thousands expected in Washington to demand “full and equal protection for LGBT people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states”

Washington, DC, September 30, 2009 – Longtime gay activist David Mixner, who in May called for a national march on Washington “to empower our young and to show the nation that anything less than full freedom is unacceptable,” is among the featured speakers at the October 11th National Equality March (NEM) in Washington, organizers announced today.

More than 30 speakers, representing the diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and its straight allies, will take the stage at a rally following the march on the west lawn of the Capitol.

“We are coming to Washington with new messages and new strategies to build our national movement,” said Mixner. “We will have one demand in Washington: full and equal and equal protection for LGBT people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states and the District of Columbia

Now is the time for all of us to stand up and be counted with our LGBT brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.
They should not have to wait any longer for the same equal rights I and others enjoy.
