Description
Summary:Mia Raven is holding a sign that reads, "If Gay Marriage Threatens Your Straight Marriage, One of You Is Gay! / Love Is Love!" and another person has a sign that features a red and pink equal sign (a version of the Human Rights Campaign logo originally designed to promote marriage equality). Madison Clark is standing on the left. The event, hosted by Sanctity of Marriage Alabama, was organized after the state began issuing same-sex marriage licenses on February 9, 2015. (From SOMA's Facebook page: "We stand with God's Word and the law of our land for marriage as defined by God - union between one man and one woman.") Members of the League of the South, a neo-Confederate group based in Killen, Alabama, were among the participants.
