2,500 citizens of Western Queens, including Broadway and television stars and government officials, peacefully rallied this Sunday at 6:00pm in Athens Park in Astoria, NY to support of Governor Paterson’s Marriage Equality Bill. The rally featured music by Broadway performers and stories from elected officials and members of the community who want equality. 

Jeremiah Frei-Pearson, one of the leaders of Western Queens for Marriage Equality (WQfME), said “We’re proud that thousands of people from Western Queens stood up for civil rights. Most of my neighbors and I believe marriage is a human right that should be available to all New Yorkers, regardless of sexual orientation. Queens is the most diverse place in America; this diversity is our strength and today we showed that a majority of Western Queens, like a majority of New Yorkers, believe that our LGBT brothers and sisters should have the same rights as the rest of us.”

Note: Photos of the meeting are available below.

Members of Western Queens for Marriage Equality (WQFME) have been working hard to get Senator Onorato to listen to the will of his constituents and support marriage equality.  We have organized a rally of 2,500 people; we have written hundreds of letters, made thousands of phone calls, and passed out thousands of flyers.  We have protested outside of the Senator’s district office every day during the past week and we will continue to protest until the Senator announces that he unequivocally supports equality.  
 
Three members of WQFME, Jeremiah Frei-Pearson, Kristen Plylar-Moore and Brendan Fay, met with Senator Onorato on Friday afternoon.  Jeremiah Frei-Pearson presented a petition to Senator Onorato and said:  “This petition is the voice of the people you represent.  Thousands of your constituents have signed it and they are all asking you to support marriage equality.  We ask you to vote for equal rights.”
