LOUISVILLE, KY - Representatives of a variety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender groups as well as other civil rights organizations protested in downtown Louisville this afternoon in response to an anti-gay incident at a McDonald's restaurant. The protestors called for an end to anti-gay discrimination and an official response to the incident by the fast food mega-corporation. They were reacting to an incident in which a McDonald's employee referred to a group of gay customers as "faggots" and other anti-gay slurs, and then a supervisor said she didn't see what the "big deal" was and refused to refund the customers' payment.

WASHINGTON, DC -- Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) heralded a decision from the Connecticut Supreme Court, released today, legalizing marriage equality for same-sex couples. Eight same-sex couples challenged the state's ban on marriage in 2004, arguing that their constitutional rights to equal protection and due process were violated when they were denied marriage licenses. Today, the Supreme Court agreed with the couples, making the state the third in the country, along with Massachusetts and California, to officially recognize same-sex marriage.

"PFLAG congratulates our friends, and celebrates with our families, in Connecticut today," said Jody M. Huckaby, the group's executive director. "The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled in favor of families, in recognition of our fundamental right to marry the person we love and in the best interest of our core belief in liberty and justice for all. All families are stronger when every family is recognized and protected by the law. No loving couple should face discrimination and prejudice and today's ruling eliminates those barriers once and for all."
