The antigay National Organization for Marriage is mobilizing supporters to head to the nation’s capital to demonstrate against marriage equality the day of the historic U.S. Supreme Court hearings on Proposition 8 — an effort that has garnered support from local Catholic groups.

Philadelphia’s is the only archdiocese in the nation listed as a sponsor. NOM did not respond to a request for comment.
