The Green Bay Action Network gathered with individuals from across Northeast Wisconsin on Wednesday to mourn one year since discrimination was written into the Wisconsin Constitution. The Candlelight Vigil took place at the Brown County Courthouse in front of the Liberty Bell. More than 75 people showed up in solidarity with the LGBT community - to let the rest of the community know that marriage equality is still the goal and that discrimination is not the answer. The following video was captured and summarizes the struggle for equality that Wisconsin still faces.
