Subject: ACTION ALERT: National Freedom to Marry Day

[ excerpt from Chicago's Windy City Times 'call to action', 29-Jan-98 ]

National Freedom to Marry Day will take place on February 12. The date was sent
to link Freedom to Marry events to Lincoln's birthday and Valentine's Day.

Members of the Freedom to Marry Coalition-- including Lambda Legal Defense and
Education Fund, GLAAD, ACLU, NOW, ...  and PFLAG are at the forefront of the
campaign to organize Freedom to Marry Day.

The coalition is encouraging gays and lesbians to organize and particpate in
local Freedom to Marry Day activities, such as holding press conferences to
promote gays' right to marry, circulating the Marriage Resolution (available at
http://www.ftm.org) and wearing a lavender ribbon (tying the knot).

For more information about Freedom to Marry Day, the Marriage Resolution and
other details of the campaign for same-sex marriage, call (212) 809-8585.
