On Jan. 12th senior Stephen Boatwright set up and attended a rally for lesbian, gay, transgender, allied (LGBTA) youth regarding the support of same sex marriage at the capitol.

The event was orginally hosted by anti-LGBTA organizations “LUV (Let Us Vote) Iowa” and the “IFPC” (Iowa Family Policy Center)”, but supporters of same sex marriage and LGTB rights in general still showed up to both Boatwright’s rally and one of Iowa’s (the largest LGTB advocacy group in the Midwest) rally to prove their presence in our community.
