While we await the 5th Circuit's ruling on the freedom to marry here in #Texas, we look ahead to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) which is taking up four same-sex marriage cases on April 28. These cases could very likely bring about full, nationwide marriage equality--EVEN HERE IN TEXAS.
While the court's decision likely won't be rendered until June, we--as in years past--want to gather as a community to inform the world we are tired of being second-class citizens and what it means for the SCOTUS to take this action.
Important notes:
This is for the SCOTUS hearings, not the 5th Circuit decision.
We will gather on the EVE of 4/28 SCOTUS hearing (not the day of) so please make note of the date.
If the 5th Circuit issues a ruling, the 6 p.m.-day-of-decision rallies at Cathedral of Hope (Dallas-area) and Celebration Community Church (FW-area) will still proceed.
