Chicago, IL --- June 22, 2002 --- On June 30, at the 33rd Annual Chicago Pride Parade, It's Time Illinois plans to sticker the parade!

We have prepared a huge banner, and thousands of stickers and posters, enough for every participant and every float entered in the parade, with the message: "I Support the Gender Identity Amendment."

We are inviting all members of the Chicagoland Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community to help bring awareness and gain support of the Chicago Gender Identity Amendment by proudly displaying posters and wearing a sticker in solidarity with the transgender community.

We are also inviting everyone to march with It's Time Illinois and help us carry the "Support the Gender Identity Amendment" banner in the Pride Parade, and to help us distribute the posters and stickers.

Please join It's Time, Illinois on the morning of Chicago Pride Parade as we Sticker the Parade for the Gender Identity Amendment
