Gay Marriage Group in Arizona to Walk 97 Miles

Anybody willing to walk 97 miles through metro Phoenix in August has either a loose screw or a damn good reason. The walkers are members of Right to Marry: Arizona, an organization that seeks equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians. The plan is to walk about 15 miles a day for seven days, with stops along the way where they'll try to engage religious and political figures in conversations about the issue. Stops include the starting point at Scottsdale Bible Church, the Parish of the Diocese of Phoenix Saint Mary's, Glendale City Hall, and finally, Phoenix City Hall. Each night, walkers will stay in a hotel near each stop before continuing the trek the next day. The 97-mile walk represents the 97 years Arizona has been without a right-to-marry law.
