Freedom To Marry Month . NRME-CA . US Captiol WDC . 11 OCT 2004 PHOTOS

Beginning with a 4 October 2004 Rally at the State Capitol in Sacremento a caravan of same-sex couples some who participated in the 12 February - 12 August SFCA 'Wedding Parade' and their supporters including several straights and religious figures would ride across the country stopping at pre-arranged locations along the way. Where they would hold rallies and seminars and deliver California Care Packages which contained educational videos, books and other resources that may would assist local supporters in their fight for marriage equality.

Having traveled across the country they'd kick-off 2004 National Coming Out Week with a Same-Sex Forum in Pittsburg, PA on Saturday night. And would arrive in WDC on Sunday, 10 October.

On Monday, 11 October, National Coming Out Day, they'd hold an 11 am to 4 pm National Rally for Marriage Equality-CA in Upper Senate Park which is directly across Constitution Avenue from the US Capitol building.
