AUSTIN - Opponents of a constitutional amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot that would bar same-sex marriage will hold a vigil Saturday in response to a planned "anti-homosexual marriage rally" sponsored by the Ku Klux Klan.

"We will speak for ourselves and not engage the Klan in their rhetoric. It will be a peaceful, nonviolent demonstration," said Glen Maxey, a former legislator who heads the anti-proposition group No Nonsense in November.

A Klan group, the American White Knights, has reserved space on Austin's City Hall plaza for a rally in favor of Proposition 2, the constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

The No Nonsense group plans to hold a vigil on a bridge in the middle of Town Lake, about half a block from where the Klan rally will occur. Participants will be asked to sign a pledge of nonviolence.
