Protest Precedes Royal Wedding

Gay rights activists, led by Peter Tatchell, will deliver a "giant wedding card" to William and Kate (pictured) in a marriage equality protest at Buckingham Palace, according to Joe My God blog.

Tatchell writes on his site, "As well as wishing the royal couple every happiness, we will highlight the fact that William and Kate can marry, but same-sex couples can't. Our event will urge the royal couple to support moves to end the ban on gay marriage. We want equal marriage rights for all couples, regardless of sexual orientation. Kate and William had a choice. They could get married, or not. Same-sex couples don't have this choice. We are banned from marriage by law. All welcome. Bring your friends for a party in front of Buckingham Palace. Come with flowers, rainbow flags and pink jack flags."

The details of the protest appear on Facebook.
