Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and straight residents of northwestern Pennsylvania who favor fairness and equality for all are invited to take to the streets of Erie on Saturday, Nov. 15, to peacefully protest the recent passage of Proposition 8, California’s anti-gay marriage amendment, as well as other anti-gay ballot measures passed in Arkansas, Arizona and Florida.
