Rally for
marriage in L.A., September 18

The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center is sponsoring a rally and march to urge California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign a measure legalizing same-sex marriage in the state. The rally is slated to begin at 7 p.m., Tuesday, September 18, at the Center's headquarters at 1625 N. Schrader Blvd., with supporters then marching down Hollywood Boulevard to Schwarzenegger's star on the Walk of Fame.

The California legislature for the second time passed a bill to lift a ban on marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples; that measure should go to his desk for approval this week. Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar measure in 2005. (The Advocate)
