Related: About this forumDecision Day Celebrations Planned Across Texas If 5th Circuit Strikes Down Marriage Ban
The group Texas For Marriage is planning Decision Day celebrations in five Texas cities if the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules in the federal lawsuit challenging the states same-sex marriage ban.
A three-judge panel of the appeals court heard oral arguments in DeLeon v. Perry earlier this month, and observers say the justices appeared split 2-1 in favor of marriage equality. However, the panel may choose not to rule at all and instead wait for a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear same-sex marriage cases from four states in April.
If the 5th Circuit panel decides to rule, rallies will be held at 6 p.m. on the same day in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio. The locations of the Austin, Houston and San Antonio rallies have yet to be determined, but the Dallas rally will be at Cathedral of Hope (5910 Cedar Springs Road), and the Fort Worth rally will be at First Congregational Church (4201 Trail Lake Drive).
To RSVP for one of the rallies, go here.

Not only marriage equality, but non-discrimination laws need to be respected.
