June 3rd Golden Gate Bridge Walk for Marriage Equality
Walks in SF and NYC to Bridge the Gap to Marriage Equality
On Saturday, June 3rd, Marriage Equality USA held walks across bridges in California and New York to raise visibility and funds for efforts to win the 1400 state and federal protections for civil marriage for same-sex couples. For the Golden Gate Bridge Walk for Marriage Equality, people gathered at the western end of Chrissy Field at 9:00am, and vans brought people to the Golden Gate Bridge for the Walk, which started at 9:30. Single "lesbian soccer mom" Jennifer Schumaker walked the last 5 miles of her 500 mile journey from San Diego to San Francisco in support of LGBT inclusion and marriage equality for same-sex couples. The event ended at 12pm and was to be followed by a cake reception.
It is expected that the US Senate will vote on the Federal Marriage Constitutional Amendment on Monday, June 5th. The marches on Saturday will help to increase outreach and educational efforts against the amendment. On Monday, June 5th, there will be a press conference in Washington, DC to kick-off postcard delivery to US Senators urging them to oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment.
