Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, was met by about 200 protesters Tuesday night when he arrived at the campus of Central Michigan University to speak about traditional marriage.

Glenn spoke to the Conservative Students organization, which was formerly the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at CMU. He was there to speak about the importance of protecting “traditional” marriage, which he and his group define as between one man and one woman. Glenn was the author of the 2004 amendment to the Michigan Constitution which restricted marriage to one man and one woman. He is also opposed to the laws appearing across the country which allow same sex couples to marriage.
 
Because of the protesters, the conservative student group shut the meeting with Glenn to the general public.

According to CM-Life, the campus newspaper,

The crowd, which waited behind the metal gate across the street from the Bovee University Center harmoniously chanted “Gay, straight, black, white, marriage is a civil right,” and “Hey, hey, ho, ho, homophobia’s got to go.”

Signs were printed with statements like “hate is not a family value,” and “you don’t have the balls to be queer.”

The protest was organized through Facebook.
