Subject: OutRage! Press Release-  House of Lords Vigil. 



OutRage! has considered the arguments put forward by YouthSpeak and others
that the Vigil should be cancelled. Whilst we understand Chris Morris's
concern that the Lords may be discomfited by our presence, we have no real
reason to expect that this will be the case. The Vigil will be restrained
and dignified, as was the Vigil on the night of the Commons vote.

We have confirmed with the House of Lords Information Office that the
debate will begin between 4pm and 5pm. They expect the vote to be taken
between 9pm and 10pm.

The Vigil will be from 6pm on Wednesday 22 July and will  continue until
the result of the vote is known. We urge as many people as possible to
participate. We must show that we are determined to achieve equality. It is
ludicrous that  an undemocratic body should be able to take a decision that
affects millions of people. Particularly so, when their only claim to
authority is that most of them are the latter-day consequences of illicit
ancestral royal rogering. They represent no one but themselves and the
Establishment.
