Independence Mall played host to about 150 LGBTs and allies Wednesday night who turned out to rally for marriage equality after the historic U. S. Supreme Court rulings that morning. Speakers included Delaware Valley Americans United for Separation of Church and State founder Janice Rael (pictured first), the Rev. Jeffrey Jordan, Philadelphia’s director of LGBT affairs Gloria Casarez, Philadelphia Family Pride vice-chair Wendy Forbes, Philadelphia Human Relations Commission executive director Rue Landau and SafeGuards director Brian Green. Supporters carried signs, chanted pro-LGBT messages and spoke to the sea of mainstream media on hand. Scott Drake
