The National Equality Rally will take place May 3 at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall — the same site where gay rights pioneers launched the LGBT civil rights movement with rallies every 4th of July from 1965 through 1969.
The rally is a call on Congress and President Barack Obama to:
• Pass a trans-inclusive hate-crimes bill and Employment Non-Discrimination Act
• Repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell” and the Defense of Marriage Act
• Support GLBT health issues
• Provide equal benefits for same-sex couples and their families
• Advance federal marriage equality
