Gay Marriage Watch: Gay Marriage Events List 11/22/09

Gay Marriage Watch Events List: We now publish a weekly recap of all the upcoming gay marriage events we can find. Know about something that's not on this list? Email us the information at info@purpleunions.com. Today, we have information on the candlelight vigils going on nationwide to honor the life of slain Puerto Rican teen Jorge Mercado.  There will be rallies held in most of the major cities, including Los Angees, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Dallas, and many more.  More information about Mercado's death and the rallies here (vigils also listed individually below): http://tinyurl.com/yfleuxr You can also now find us on Facebook - just search for Gay Marriage Watch (you'll see our b/w wedding pic overlooking the Ferry Building and Bay Bridge in SF).
