Civil Rights Activists Takeover Fresno City Hall

Over 1,000 people came to downtown Fresno for a NO ON 8 rally today (November 2, 2008). The rally at Fresno City Hall was followed by an impromptu march to the County Clerks office to demand marriage equality. The keynote speaker at the rally was Father Farrow, who was a priest at the Saint Paul Newman Center in northeast Fresno. . . until he came out (last month) against Proposition 8. For this courageous act, he was suspended as a priest and removed as pastor.
