(SPRINGFIELD, USA) - Supporters and opponents of gay marriage, some carrying signs that read "Let the People Vote" and others shouting "Bigots go home," squared off on the steps of City Hall yesterday. The confrontation occurred about 1 p.m. yesterday as members of the Pioneer Valley Faith Action Committee, Vote on Marriage group and others were set to rally at City Hall to urge legislators to vote to place a referendum question on the 2008 ballot asking voters if they want a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. As their rally was getting under way, they were met by a counter demonstration led by MassEquality, an organization that had also planned a rally at City Hall yesterday and had permits for their event.
