NO ON PROP 8!

Flist, I've just got back from an incredible No on Prop 8 rally and NEEDED* to post this. Prop 8 in California would ELIMINATE same-sex marriages, would take away the rights of certain individuals to possess what should be a UNIVERSAL RIGHT, and is the TEST CASE for the entire nation. Our opponents are powered by money that's poured in from out of state interests intent on altering the state constitution and making sure our LGBT community remain treated as second-class citizens.

This is not a cultural matter -- even if a person does not approve of homosexuals, it does not give them the right to decide who they may marry. Civil unions are not the same -- they are SEPARATE, NOT EQUAL. Does this remind you of anything?

So please, even if you do not live in California, spread the word to friends or family who do live in this state and make sure they will vote NO this Tuesday.

*Sorry for the random capitalisations. I feel like Frank Miller, whee!

Frustrated the opposition to California's Prop 8 was losing ground, today's rally at Downtown's Pershing Square aimed to reinvigorate. More than 200 people flocked to hoist signs and chant no on 8 slogans, and listen to speakers like Councilwoman Jan Perry and Chastity Bono.

Only a few blocks away, supporters of Prop 8 were bused in to gather in front of City Hall to insist marriage be only between a man and a woman.
