The first ever gay rights rally in the state of Mississippi will be held
September 18, 1993, to protest the harrassment of the fledgling
gay/lesbian community group G.L. Friendly.

The rally will be in Ocean Springs, on the Miss. Gulf Coast.
Organizers expect 1500-2000 protestors from all over the U.S. to come
show their support. Anyone interested in coming can call 601/875-3335.
G.L. Friendly will try to provide accommodations to as many people as
possible.

A parade will begin formation at 3pm on Dewey St in Ocean Springs (nr.
City Hall) and will kick off at 4pm.

Formed two months ago, G.L. Friendly is trying to provide a safe
environment for gays and lesbians in south Mississippi by opening a
community center, forming support groups, and establishing a lending
library. The group has faced threats and harrassments from local
citizens and church groups. Please show your support in any way you
can!!

Fighting for gay rights in Mississippi is truly a revolutionary act!
