Tuesday, May 26 at 3 PM, peaceful protesters gathered in front of the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Building on Colfax Ave in Denver, Colorado, as a reaction to the ruling that upheld Proposition 8 in California. The event was one of an estimated 106 events that were held in solidarity, yesterday.
The protest, organized by Soulforce Colorado, also staged a sit-in within the Denver’s clerk and recorders office to demonstrate and remind people throughout the nation about the discrimination against same-sex marriages that exists throughout the nation. About 50 people descended on the building. Kate Burns was one of the first of the protesters to be arrested when she would not allow a heterosexual couple into the recorder’s office to get married.
Here is a video of the sit-in:
As well as a video of Kate Burns, who was arrested previously in 2007, with her partner, when they both staged a sit-in in response to Colorado’s ban on gay marriage:
