description	They are holding signs that read, "Y'all Means All"; "God Made Me Fabulous!"; "Love Is Tender"; "All You Need Is Love"; "= Marriage"; "I Deserve Equal American Rights"; "Still a Family"; "Love is Love"; "Let the One Without Sin Cast the First Stone! John 8:7 / Love is Love!"; "Straight But Not Narrow / I Support Equality" and "Equality for All! Love Has No Gender." (Albert Pigg is standing on the far left, holding two signs.) Despite federal court rulings legalizing same-sex marriage in early 2015, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered that probate judges stop issuing licenses to those couples on March 3 of that year. In response, Dothan citizens held two events on March 22: an "I Support Biblical Marriage Rally" at Ridgecrest Baptist Church and a counter-demonstration (organized by Equality Wiregrass) at the Dothan Civic Center. (The rally was initially set to take place at the civic center, too, and many of the counter-protestors reassembled outside the church later in the afternoon.)
