80 Nashville demonstrators tell antigay legislators: Enough is Enough! . . . More protests are planned for Nashville & Knoxville


Update: Tennessee Independent Media has a story about the Nashville "Stop the Anti-Gay Agenda" demonstration. Here's the google listing:

Some 80 citizens showed up in downtown Nashville to protest the state's antigay agenda; demonstrators were young and old, gay and straight. Check out Freedom Press for more details about the Nashville demonstration.

Another Nashville action is planned for Monday (3-7-05) from 4:30-6:30, same place, Charolotte Avenue facing the Capitol. It's expected that the House will vote on the marriage ban that night, so we can expect more media attention and need more demonstrators. Eighty was decent, but we should have had a thousand. Questions? email me.

This Saturday, there will be a simliar action in Knoxville:
