Join South Carolina Equality and our partners as we rally on the North steps of the SC State House in Columbia to let the US Supreme Court know how harmful 'DOMA' is to to our country and in states like South Carolina.

Gather at 5pm - Rally will begin at 5:30pm. Speakers will be announced as they are confirmed. Pro-Equality signs and banners are strongly encouraged.
Hosted by South Carolina Equality, the ACLU of South Carolina, the Campaign for Southern Equality, the Harriet Hancock LGBT Center.
The rally will be followed by a 3 block march to the University of South Carolina School of Law - Auditorium for a presentation on legal issues facing unmarried and same-sex couples. More information about the forum here: http://www.facebook.com/events/152387511587081/
This rally is a part of a national movement in 50 states and the District of Columbia - "United for Marriage: Light the Way to Justice" - http://www.lighttojustice.org
Why we gather: In just a few short weeks, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider two cases about the freedom to marry. These two cases – which concern the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California’s Proposition 8 – are fundamentally about whether gay and lesbian Americans can enjoy the same freedoms and opportunities as everyone else.
Momentum is on our side - a bipartisan majority of Americans recognize that the ability to marry the person you love is a Constitutional right. But now is the time to stand up and show your support for marriage equality. This is a historic moment in the equality movement, and we hope you can participate in an event to show your support. Let's give people hope and create lasting change by using the voice of the people!
