The Double Negative City Council Meeting on Gay Marriage

I know the people who sent me this on Facebook, so I believe I understand the end intention, but apparently tomorrow is the: Resolution Against the Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment.


Huh?


In other words it's the: Anti-Anti Gay Marriage Resolution. Which means it's pro-human rights, pro-civil rights, and is something everyone should positively come out and support. Denounce bigotry and hatred, to finally make Greensboro a leader of human rights, rather than tarnished by our historical failures. There's no reason to make the same mistakes again, because then, that truly would be a double negative.

Everyone should have equal rights, including those provided by marriage. The idea that Greensboro, will pass a resolution to denounce how horrific anti-gay marriage legislation is, suggests to me, this place, our home, has become uniquely better then we ever thought it could be. That, is the sign of true success.

Supporters are encouraged at the Melvin Municipal Building from 5:30-11:00 PM on Tuesday, February 7th, 2012. Those who wish to speak shall sign the roster preceding the meeting. Parking is free on Greene Street deck after 5 PM.
