OurScene TV – life/style tv for the LGBTQ community

On Friday, February 12th, four activists from Queer Rising were arrested during a non-violent demonstration for marriage equality. The members of the group - Alan Bounville, Jake Goodman, Justin Elzie and Gabriel Yuri Bollag - chained themselves to each other in front of Manhattan’s marriage bureau. Earlier in the day, a half dozen same sex couples went to the marriage bureau to ask for marriage licenses and were refused.

OURsceneTV’s Blake Hayes was on the front lines of all the action.

Queer Rising is an activist group based in New York.  Their message is simple: "tired of living our lives as 2nd class citizens without equal treatment under the law, we’ve organized ourselves to protect ourselves...Through peaceful demonstration,  acts of civil disobedience (optional), & other means we will assert ourselves into the larger community as equals!"
