Opponents And Proponents Of Gay Marriage Rally Saturday In Seattle
Posted: 8:12 am PDT May 1, 2004
SEATTLE -- Opponents of gay marriage, including members of
hundreds of conservative Christian churches, plan to gather Saturday
at Safeco Field in Seattle for a "May Day for Marriage" rally.
Ken Hutcherson, pastor of Antioch Bible Church of Redmond, says it
will be a complete worship service.
In his words, "It's
definitely a God thing." Organizers hope to attract 35-thousand
people to the noontime rally to hear speeches by religious leaders,
including James Dobson, founder of the evangelical Christian group,
Focus on the Family.
Gay-rights activists also plan to attend --
but outside the stadium, staging a sidewalk protest of the event.
The rally, which is free, will be held from noon to 2 p-m. Gates to
Safeco Frield open at 10 a-m.
