Charleston Rally for MARRIAGE
EQUALITY with Alliance For Full Acceptance
(AFFA) and our cosponsors on the steps of the US Custom

transgender (LGBT) Americans should have the freedom to
marry. We are joining organizations in cities across the
nation to shine a light on the broad support for
marriage equality from coast to coast.

House at East Bay and Market Streets in downtown

equality and justice are encouraged to attend. An
exciting lineup of speakers will be published.
