Dallas’ Freedom to Marry protest
February 12th, 2009This afternoon, Voice photog Bryan Amann shot these images of Kim Davis (in wedding gown) and Rose Preizler, the couple who marched into the Dallas County Clerk and Records Building to try and get a marriage license.
Davis and Preizler were denied a marriage license. Clerk John Warren explained that he couldn’t grant the license under Texas law, which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
A crappy explanation, but gorgeous pictures.
More photos after the jump.

The LGBT community should give Rose and Kim a big round of applause for not only standing up for their rights but the rights of their LGBT brothers and sisters!
Thanks Kim and Rose, the ceremony was beautiful!

Ladies you are an inspiration, keep up the good fight. One day everyone will be given the basic rights that all human beings are due!
Congratulations to you for sharing such a wonderful bond!
One would think the economic conservatives would at least recognize the gold mine of tax dollars that is waiting to be tapped by allowing the LGBT community to marry. They are cutting of their noses to spite their face.

The old Dallas courthouse has never looked prettier or been more typically superficial and intentionally stupid. It isn’t even an issue worth resisting. The world need all the love and committment it can get and to turn away anyone who is willing to make those committments is to be cosmically wasteful and destructive.
You go, girls! In the mean while (and I do mean MEAN!) go ahead and be the hearth at which others amy warm their hands.

I look at that picture, and see a woman dressed in mannish clothes, with a hook nose, and I can’t help but wonder:
Is she one of the many dykes who would not think twice about calling me a ‘tranny’?
She and her partner would think nothing of telling a trans woman to get out of a woman’s group…like so many of her gay and lesbian friends would, and have.
To her, a tax deduction for being married is more important than the most basic rights for trans women. After all, if we die, no skin off her nose, right?
I see a woman who could walk into any dyke bar, and not be spit on, taunted, or blocked from using the restroom by homosexuals.
I see the picture of entitlement and hate, masquerading as homosexual love. I see someone who would publicly and shamelessly justify her right to dehumanise trans women in order to look good to her equally hateful dyke friends.
So, you must forgive this lesbian for not rejoicing.
