Greetings from GayVancouver.Net

We are sending this special bulletin to everyone on our events mail-list in an effort to get the word out about an upcoming rally against Bill C-250 and same-sex marriage.

The Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and Family Values Association is planning a rally against Bill C-250 and same-sex marriages on Saturday, August 16th outside the Supreme Court of BC at 800 Smithe Street from 10am to 12:30pm. We are calling on everyone in the
LesBiGay community to attend in a counter-rally!

Bring your signs, your Pride and Canadian flags and show these homophobes that hate is not a Canadian OR a family value!

If you are unable to attend the counter-rally send your own emails of support for these two pieces of important legislation:

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien - pm@pm.gc.ca
Hon. Hedy Fry (Vancouver Centre MP) - Fry.H@parl.gc.ca

Here are the details from the Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and
Family Values Association website at http://www.bcptl.org/events.htm:

To : All British Columbians

There has been a large public outcry regarding the federal government’s
attempts to redefine Marriage and to amend the hate crime law, by
including in the criminal law, the undefined term "sexual orientation"
through Bill C-250. This proposed bill would, in essence, silence any
opposition to homosexual behavior. The federal Liberals, Progressive
Conservatives, New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois Members of Parliament
could easily pass legislation on these critical issues when Parliament
re-opens in September. This is the last opportunity for the vast
majority of Canadians to voice their concerns about these critical
issues that will adversely affect our country for generations to come.

The Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and Family Values Association
will be holding a rally to oppose Bill C-250 and to uphold the present
definition of Marriage as being between a man and a woman. We urge all
pastors and organizations to help make this opportunity available to
all
concerned British Columbians through church bulletins and sharing of
information. The details of the rally are as follows :

Date: Saturday, August 16, 2003
Time: 10:00 am 12:30 pm
Location: Outside the Supreme Court of B.C. building at 800 Smithe
Street, Vancouver

If you expect a large turnout from your church, we would appreciate
knowing in advance the approximate numbers so we can make appropriate
arrangements. Please appoint at least one marshal for each 30
participants (for the purpose of crowd control), and fax the name and
tel. # of the marshal (s) to us as soon as possible.

We encourage all Canadians to make their concerns known to their MPs as
well as to take this opportunity to physically attend the Rally to send
a clear message to our politicians and judges that Canadians expect
nothing less than democracy on such vital issues.
