Growing Support for the National Equality March: 140 New LGBT Activists and Allies Sign On »
The momentum for the National Equality March, organized by Equality Across America seems to be reaching a fevered pitch. The March, scheduled for October 10th and 11th in Washington DC, has given blogger Andy Towle of Towleroad a list of over 140 new LGBT leaders and allies who are endorsing the event, whose goal is “equal protection in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states.”
The list includes activists, politicians, entertainers, religious figures, and others who are putting their name and support behind the national march. It’s a diverse group of people, from leaders like Judy Sheperd and Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin to actors like Charlize Theron and Harvey Fierstein and everyone in between. It also includes a number of Bilerico folks and other bloggers, like Nadine Smith, Pam Spaulding, Kate Clinton, Bil Browning, Lane Hudson, Eric Marcus, and many others.
This comes on the heels of state groups, like those in Florida, announcing they will be arranging for buses from major cities to bring people to the march.
It seems that the march is indeed picking up steam.
