OU students supporting marriage rights for gays, lesbians, trans-genders, and bisexuals, will hand out white knots Friday, at the Union and on the South Oval.
The white knot or ribbon symbolizes the right for GLTBs to marry or tie the knot. Two traditional symbols of marriage are a part of the ribbon; the color white and the actual knot representing the phrase "tying the knot". The white knot movement isn't just a movement among OU students, it's nationwide.
"I think it's important that everyone should have the same rights," public relations junior, Schuyler Crabtree said. "This supports what our constitution supports; equal rights for all it's citizens."
There will be over 600 white knots available on Friday.
