Stuart Milk, the nephew
of slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk, is scheduled to speak
at a
rally in Florida
on Monday in support of gay rights. The "Rally in Tally,"
to take place at the state capital of Tallahassee, is being
billed as the largest gay rights gathering in the history of
the Sunshine State.
The event aims to
highlight nondiscrimination and domestic-partnership bills
introduced
in the state legislature. The measures come on the heels of
Amendment 2, the ban on same-sex marriage and equivalent
unions, which voters passed with 62% approval in November.
Despite the success of
Amendment 2,
recent polls
show that 77% of Floridians support extending basic legal
rights to unmarried couples.
