NAPLES, Fla. — Members of Naples Pride are helping to organize two rallies against the so-called "Don't Say Gay" bill moving forward in the state House of Representatives.

Demonstrators plan to be at the Collier courthouse to rally Friday at 4:30 p.m., and then Cambier Park at 5:30 p.m.

In between the rallies, they plan to march along Naples storied 5th Avenue to get the public's attention.

They're also collecting signatures on a petition that asks Southwest Florida-based state reps and state senators to join with other lawmakers in opposing the bill.
