Wayne Besen, founder of Truth Wins Out, an organization formed to fight anti-gay religious extremism, agrees it’s time to express rage. One social media call to join the protest read: “Channel your rage into action.” Groups who protested included Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, Girls for Gender Equity, and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice. Wade’s possible reversal, New Yorkers gathered in lower Manhattan’s Foley Square. O n May 9, less than 24 hours after a leaked Supreme Court draft decision foreshadowed Roe v. At City Hall this past April: NYC responds to “Don’t say gay.” lev radin
