Remember last year I posted about The Modern French Revolution or La Manif Pour Tous,, the pro-family movement taking place in France? With slogans like “1 Father, 1 Mother = That’s Marriage” and “Father, Mother, Children, It’s Natural!” they are spreading the message about traditional families.
Taking a page from their book there is a Celebration of Marriage rally taking place in Utah tonight. If you can attend that would be great! Obviously I don’t live in Utah but I will be attending “virtually.” #Standwithchildren will be used across all media platforms.
Find more information at Celebration of Marriage.
Thanks so much for helping to get the word out, Cocoa! I know I’m keeping my eye on Utah! 😉
Hugs,
Rachel

I wish I could be there. I grew up in Utah but live on the east coast now. I really hope Utahns do what they can to stop this.
Love this! Wish I could be there! And I would also like to say to anyone who is wavering on their stance about same gender marriage, I used to feel the same way – that I didn’t want to interfere with the way other people lived their lives. Then I had an epiphany. Please check this link if you’d like to read more about what I learned: http://fhelessons.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/my-epiphany/
Oh my goodness, I LOVED your blog post! It is a keeper…it has all the facts, backed up by links and common sense statements. It should go viral. You should post it to Well Behaved Mormon Woman’s FB page/send it to her blog. WOW.
This is so awesome! Children are entitled to a mother and a father!
Love the “La Manif Pour Tous” movement in France–it actually doesn’t even mention religion but goes on the basis that children should and must have a mother and a father. If I lived in Utah, I would have gone last night. What an incredible experience to put one’s beliefs into action!
I love everything you write. I know I need to speak up on this, but I’m struggling to know HOW. I’m going to keep pondering the HOW and reading your words. love you. M
Thanks, Montsie!!! The turn out was incredible. The fact that people attended virtually was awesome and there was a quiet, peaceful spirit the whole time.
