Candlelight Vigil at City Hall on Tuesday Regarding US Supreme Court and Marriage Equality

Candlelight vigil at City Hall on Tuesday 26th at 6:30 pm in support of the Supreme Court overturning DOMA and Prop 8.

8th Council District and lgbt advocate contacted me late last night about doing a candlelight vigil in Long Beach in support of the US Supreme Court over turning DOMA and Prop 8 and providing gays and lesbians with full equality rights concerning marriage.

I contacted Councilmember Robert Garcia who confirmed his participation and Brad Shore has just informed me Bob Foster will be attending as well.

Am happy to announce it is on. Please plan on attending this historic event in Long Beach.
