7/2/09 - Marriage Counter Sit-in and Rally for Equality - Bloomington IN - Thursday 7/02/09. Gay Recruiters (see Facebook page) of Bloomington IN organized and staged this rally and sit-in/teach in. They did not included it in the video but we read off the 1,138 FEDERAL RIGHTS that gay people are denied by being denied CIVIL marriage. A CIVIL marriage license conveys 1,138 FEDERAL rights which straight married people take for granted. Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships do NOT convey these 1,138 rights. Separate is NEVER equal! Gay and Lesbian Americans will not stop until we have the same rights federally as straight Americans. That means EQUAL RIGHTS for ALL.
