| Summary: | The demonstrator is holding a sign that reads, "The Courthouse Is Not Your Church / Your religion Is Not Under Attack! / Is Not Relevant to This Legal / Secular / Civil Rights / Issue." 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. |
