A coalition of Minnesota groups are planning a protest against Maggie Gallagher and Bishop Salvatore Cordileone, two high profile members of the Prop 8 campaign to take marriage rights away from same-sex couples in California, who will be appearing at the University of St. Thomas on April 17. OutFront Minnesota, All God’s Children Metropolitan Community Church, the University of Saint Thomas Allies, the University of Saint Thomas Law School OUT!Law, the Catholic Pastoral Committee on Sexual Minorities, and the Institute for Welcoming Resources have joined together to voice their opposition to anti-LGBT discrimination.
