Villaraigosa supports 'Meet in the middle'

The Courage Campaign announced Thursday it is sponsoring a "Meet in the Midle for Equality," devoted to fighting for same sex marriages.
It will be held on the first Saturday after the state Supreme Court hears arguments on Propostion 8, the measure tht bans gay marriages in California.
"Meet in the Middle is an opportunity to help break down the closet doors that confine too many of our LGBT brothers and sisters across the state," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said in a statement.
"We are sending a message that civil rights have no borders, that equality is not confined to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and that every Californian -- whether you live in Fresno or the Castro -- deserves the freedom to marry."
The Courage Campaign said the goal of the program is to "support the communities of middle America in the struggle for marriage and LGBT equality."
Events will be held throughout the state.
