Homophobia Kills "Die In" Grand Central NYC

Homophobia kills. That's a fact. Today we mourned the loss of all the queer people who have died due to homophobia, and to demand Congress outlaw homophobia by adding us to the Civil Rights laws.

Names of queer people we've lost were read aloud, and a large visual display was held to give attention to homo/transphobic-apartheid in America, and to demand our full civill rights. NOW.

To join the march for Equal Civil Rights go to: The American Equality Bill (AEB) Project (http://bit.ly/AEBnow) to add "sexual orientation and gender identity" to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! Thank you for being there, Ryan. We were all so proud and amazed at the number of participants. The fact that this, was for many participants, their first act of civil disobedience is moving... but the fact that no one stood-up when the police demanded we do is even more powerful. THANK YOU for being there and stay involved!!! - Eugene (the tall dude with glasses shouting the names)

The Civil Rights Act doesn't even outlaw racism.
