Piedmont Park protest tonight over Calif. Supreme Court decision sparks

Activists to gather 14th Street and Piedmont at 5:30 p.m.

The California Supreme Court today upheld a controversial ban on gay marriage that was narrowly approved last year by the state’s residents.

Gay rights supporters will gather in Piedmont Park tonight to oppose the court’s decision to uphold the ban.

From the Southern Voice:

Atlanta activists plan to rally in Piedmont Park beginning at 5:30 p.m. to protest the decision as part of “Day of Decision” events taking place across the country. Protesters will gather at 14th Street and Piedmont, according to organizers.
