Speakers for National Equality March to be held in Washington, DC, October 10-11, have been announced. The event is seeking equal protection for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states.

Human rights activist Cleve Jones, who worked along side Harvey Milk, Judy Shepard, mother of murdered gay teenager Matthew Shepard, Lt. Dan Choi who was discharged from the United States Army for being gay, and Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black are just some of the more than thirty speakers who have been selected to speak at National Equality March.

Activist David Mixner, who has helped organise the event, will also be speaking.

“We are coming to Washington with new messages and new strategies to build our national movement,” he said. “We will have one demand in Washington: full and equal protection for LGBT people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
