Description
Summary:One of them is holding an Alabama-shaped sign that reads, "So Over the Status Quo," and two others are wearing and holding rainbow or rainbow flags (Travis Jackson is on the right). The demonstrator standing second from the right has a Libertarian sign and cap, though those aren't visible here. 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."
