GetEQUAL will mobilize organizers across the country to hold a “Day of Discontent” tomorrow in more than a dozen cities. Local groups will stage rallies, protests, and community meetings to call attention to the need for full federal equality for LGBT Americans on the same day the long-awaited repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy takes effect.

“The events will take place in conservative bastions such as Jackson, Mississippi., Norfolk, Virginia., Huntsville, Texas, and Moscow, Idaho, and coincide with repeal parties held by other advocacy groups in all 50 states,” wrote the Huffington Post.

The day features over a dozen individual actions across the country, designed to serve as a reminder that the LGBT community is not equal in the eyes of the federal government and in most state laws. Each group will gather to urge their locally-elected officials to take the fight for full equality far beyond the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

“It has taken 17 years of hard work to remove this discriminatory policy, and still our community faces discrimination and intolerance on a daily basis that this one important victory won’t fix,” says Robin McGehee, director of GetEQUAL. “Tomorrow’s collaborative effort by LGBT organizers across this nation will show lawmakers that we will not be content until we have full federal equality in all matters governed by civil law. We cannot and will not accept anything less for ourselves, our families, and our communities.”
