An estimated 2,000 participants rallied in the Bronx on Sunday to call for the preservation of traditional marriage.
The hate rally was organized by the National Organization for Marriage and anti-gay New York state Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr., a Pentecostal minister who adamantly opposes efforts to legalize same-sex marriage.
Diaz and NOM President Brian Brown, who arrived arm-in-arm with Diaz, addressed the crowd of about 2,000 — Diaz’ previous anti-gay marriage rally in 2009 attracted an estimated 20,000 attendees.
