STATEWIDE EVENT - ROAD TRIP!!!!
DEMONSTRATION & CANDLELIGHT VIGIL AT FLORIDA GOVERNOR'S WEDDING
ST. PETERSBURG, FL - Impact-Florida will hold a peaceful and respectful demonstration and candlelight vigil outside of Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Carole Rome's wedding and reception. Governor Crist first stated he believed in a "Live and Let Live" attitude when speaking about Amendment 2. However, he then became an outspoken proponent of Amendment 2, which passed by a margin of only 1.9%. The vague and ambiguous wording of this amendment could go much further than promised. It could adversely effect domestic partners benefits of both heterosexual and gay Floridians. Impact-Florida spokesperson Lorna Bracewell said, "I truly believe our demonstration for marriage equality outside of Governor Crist's wedding will serve to educate the Governor and all Floridian's that the people injured by passage of Amendment 2 are real people. The more visible we in the GLBT community are, the better our chances will be for one day achieving full citizenship in this state and in this country. DATE: December 12, 2008 PHASE #1: Demonstration Outside Wedding Ceremony TIME: 6 P.M. (Although the Wedding is planned for 7 P.M. Participants are asked to arrive no latter than 6:00 P.M..) LOCATION: Williams Park, 330 2nd Ave N, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701 (Between 3rd St. North and 4th St. N on 2nd Avenue North. (Park is directly across 2nd Ave. N from the First United Methodist Church.) Directions/Map: Link to map Following Wedding Ceremony, participants will walk silently to second location. PHASE #2: Candlelight Vigil Outside Reception TIME: Candlelight Vigil Will Last One Hour LOCATION: Arbor/Trellis North Straub Park 400 Bayshore Dr NE, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701. (Across from Vinoy Resort.) DIRECTIONS/MAP: From Williams Park to North Straub Park: Link to map Impact Florida is a grassroots organization formed in response to passage of Florida's "Amendment 2.". Our members are devoted to pursuing and attaining marriage equality for all of Florida's citizens, regardless of gender and sexual orientation.
