(Washington, DC)—Thousands of Americans from all religions, races, and political parties gathered around the nation as the Supreme Court heard the first of two cases concerning the definition of marriage, with two boisterous and sometimes clashing crowds meeting outside the Supreme Court.

The March for Marriage traced the streets of DC, with throngs holding signs that said, "Kids do best with a mom and a dad." At times, police stood between them and the rowdy supporters of marriage redefinition, who flanked them and shouted at them on either side of the street . . .

As a large group met in the nation's capital, an untold number of others held rallies in San Diego, Salt Lake City, and elsewhere . . .

"Let the democratic debate continue," [said] Frank Schubert, the campaign manager for Proposition 8, which is at the heart of . . . arguments. "Let the people speak. And then let the considered decision of over seven million California voters speak and be honored."

Jennifer Roback-Morse, the founder of The Ruth Institute, said, "We're here with a simple message for the Supreme Court: Do not redefine marriage. Do not do to marriage what you did to life. We need to continue the discussion."

Jennifer added, "Forty years from now, it will be clear to everyone that marriage is the right side of history."
