Stand Up Florida plans protest of NOM Bus Tour Stop
- Steve Blanchard from Watermark Online
A group of LGBTs and allies have planned a protest of the National Organization for Marriage tour bus, which will stop in Tampa on Sunday, Aug. 8. Stand Up Florida, in coalition with several ally organizations including the Courage Campaign, hopes to counter the tour’s message of “one man, one woman” marriage by showcasing LGBT relationships. As of press time, Tampa is the only Florida stop on the NOM bus tour.
“The National Organization for Marriage is a group that opposes GLBT rights,” said Anthony Farver, executive director of Stand Up Florida. “This group further affronts the LGBT community by advocating that marriage is a union solely between one man and one woman.”
As of press time, Farver said that more than 100 people were planning to attend the protest of the tour. Details on the location of the protest are still pending and will be based on information released by the tour itself, which hadn’t announced where it would stop in Tampa. When a location is announced, protestors will meet from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
