”[The] Mormon Temple is suing the state [of California, where we were married] to abolish all of the marriages that happened before hand. So, it’s sort of up in the air as to where we stand. We’re hoping that we’re still married…. [Taking part in the protest] gets our voice out. It says that we’ve taken being treated as second class citizens for a long time, and we’re done with it. This is ridiculous.”
Michael Lindsay and Dr Patrick Kelly, who were married in California earlier this year. They plan to fight for their right to marry by protesting in front of Baltimore’s City Hall as part of a nation-wide public demonstration against anti-gay marriage measure that passed on November 4, effectively halting all sames-ex marriages.
