National Freedom to Marry Week

This week marks the tenth anniversary of National Freedom to Marry week, and to celebrate, local groups Atticus Circle, Equality Texas, and The Right to Marry have organized an "illegal" marriage ceremony at City Hall this Saturday, February 20th. Gay and straight couples can show their support for legalizing gay marriage by participating in the reciting of vows at Austin City Hall.

Interested parties can also show up at the Travis County Tax Assessor's Office (5501 Airport Blvd., Austin, TX 78751) on Wednesday, February 14 from 12-1pm, when committed gay couples will be requesting marriage licenses. A press conference will be held after the couples are denied their requests.
