About this event
On November 4th California saw the very direct effect that anti-gay hate can have on the life choices available, or unavailable, to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community.
Hate – especially when broadcast on thousands of media outlets across the country – is not just words, but can be used with devastating effect to promote discriminatory public policy.
Focus on the Family's James Dobson put his media empire and $150 million annual budget at the service to defeat equal rights by passing California's Proposition 8, removing equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.
Now James Dobson is bringing his hate to Chicago, receiving an award from the Museum of Broadcast Communications at 5:30 PM this Saturday night at the Chicago Renaissance Hotel, 1 W. Wacker (corner of Wacker & State).
Let's not take the California defeat sitting down. Send a message to James Dobson and his supporters that hate is NOT welcome in Chicago.
Please join us in protest at 5:30 PM this Saturday night at 1 W. Wacker Drive, Chicago.
