Two years after the submission of the first defense of the right to marry by María Rachid and Claudia Castro (which is now in the Supreme Court of the Nation), and one year of the picnic held in Rosario by Oscar Marvich and Martin Peretti Scioli, the Argentinian Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (FALGTB) calls for a “Meeting for Family Diversity and the Rights of Same-Sex Couples.”

The proposal is for Saturday 14 February, with a picnic in the park that surrounds the Planetarium of Buenos Aires (Sarmiento y Figueroa Alcorta Av.), at 3 pm. and at 2 pm at  the Sexual Diversity Walk in Rosario.

During the event, the portal the portal “The Same Love” will be presented (www.elmismoamor.org), main platform of the 2009 campaign for the Right to Marriage for Same-Sex Couples proposed by the organization and its collaborators during this year.

The Federation calls on all people regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity to attend the event and share an evening with those who celebrate diversity and support the proposal of a society where each and every family can form desired. “This “picnic” meeting is for everyone: gay, lesbian, heterosexual, bisexual, trans, teens, adults, men and women who wish to join our fair demand for marriage rights for all”, said Maria Rachid concerning the call, president of the FALGBT, and added: “It is time to move forward with concrete actions towards legal equality for all families.”

Both picnics will feature the couples whose protections were presented by the Federation in both cities and recognized figures in politics and culture.
