Description
Summary:The demonstrator has a sign that reads, "This Is Not a Church (Just in Case You Were Wondering) / 'The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed.' / - James Madison." At the rally, which was hosted by Sanctity of Marriage Alabama, counter-demonstrators interacted peacefully with participants. From the event's Facebook page: "Join believers from across Alabama at the Alabama State Capitol on June 6th at 3:00 pm, to send a united message to elected officials, the Supreme Court and the world: Alabama is for Marriage. As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on marriage in June, you have a duty to speak up while the very nature of marriage is being threatened. Devotion to Christ, love for your country and concern for your children demand immediate action."
