Stand for Uganda, Washington DC Event

It is time we take a stand against the massive human rights violations taking place!

Saturday, June 4th, 2011 at 1:00pm
Outside the White House (1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington D.C.)

As the LGBT community in the United States fights for legal equality, the LGBT community of Uganda fights for their right to live.  MP David Bahati originally proposed what is now known as the “Kill the Gays Bill”, creating homosexuality in Uganda a crime ranging in punishment from seven years in prison to death. Those in danger also include any Ugandan citizen who fails to report a known homosexual.

On Saturday, June 4th, 2011, we will stand in front of our nation’s political heart in establishment of our simple assertions:

- Creating awareness of the support of the bill received by U.S. officials and American Evangelical leaders

- Pushing the Uganda nationals here to cease to condone overseas actions

- Urging U.S. politicians to take a strong official stance against the bill and remove all current aid to a nation that has so vehemently violated basic human rights

Absolutely no civil rights victory in history would have been possible had the people waited for the government to move first.

What:  Expo to display creative ideas for your special day from photography to catering and venues along with all the details in-between

Where:  Washington DC

When:  March 2011

Why:  Leave the uncomfortability at home…  the uncomfortable feeling of meeting a wedding planner, photographer, or stationary consultant who is NOT familiar or even comfortable themselves with the idea of a gay wedding!  These vendors have the experience and the willingness to ensure your special day is unforgettable!  Head to the website for a full list of consultants!

Web:  http://www.marrymeindc.com
 
We were greeted by every vendor at the EXPO with a smile and pleasant conversation, not to mention a few laughs!  This event was creatively put together and beautifully designed!  It included informational seminars and ended with wedding ceremony!  Congratulations to Stephen and Jon!

Special thanks to Deborah Thomas and Sheila Alexander-Reid for making necessary waves in American LGBT Equality and the breathtaking Washington Court Hotel for hosting the event!  Not from the DC area?  Remember that most of these wedding consultants travel the east coast so be sure to contact them when planning your special day!
