We're Going to Have a Lot of Big Protests!

It may not change anything, but it's going to make me feel better! I will post pictures for all of you tomorrow!

Oh, 7pm, on San Vicente between Santa Monica and Melrose, in case any of you local lurkers want to join!

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Good for you, King Louie!

[lttlmc3]

Good luck! Be safe!

 

[NikkiPants]

Go kick some booty!!!

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Thanks, Louie! Do it for yourselves, and do it for us. Having a protest is at least a constructive way to vent some frustration!

Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Go kick some booty! Good for you

 

[MonorailMan]

Just don't start flinging poo!

The cops hate that.

 

[SkyMedik]

Do it dressed only in tuxedos and wedding gowns, please!

I heard about the protest in Hollywood, but heard about it too late for me to join. I wish I could have gone, but my spirit and thoughts are with everyone out there tonight. Good luck!

I attended the Keep Fighting Prop 8 protest in San Francisco last night and wrote a letter to the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle about it in case it is not too late to influence public opinion in a hopefully helpful manner.

Since my marriage is to a member of the opposite sex, perhaps I had no business seeking comfort from the gay community last night. Yet I went to the steps of City Hall seeking relief from my own sorrow about the outcome of Prop 8. Same-sex couples value marriage and want it so badly while "straight" people have been mocking the institution for decades. Maybe Prop 8 took marriage away from the wrong orientation.

I don't even think that "straight" is an appropriate term for heterosexual relationships anyway. If I am straight, doesn't that make a gay person bent?

Why is same-sex marriage everybody's business anyway? People have sometimes asked me "What did you marry that *** for?" after they have met my husband. To be honest I have questioned my own orientation from time to time, but my husband and I are legally family and the thought of never seeing him again is devastating to me.

If same-sex couples want what I have enough to take it to the streets, I do understand.

Yes it does...and that is not an uncommon term in the UK for gay.

From what I saw on a YouTube clip last night, it looked like there was a pretty good turn-out.

Good for you Louie!
Don't forget to makeup of TV cameras incase you get on the tube!

 

[kingLouiethe1]

Well, it did make me feel better being sad and angry with lots of other sad and angry people, even if it might not have changed anything. I guess now we just wait for more legal fights, here's some pics, great turnout, good vibes, and I haven't cried once today, so good for me.

Thanks for sharing, I have been sooo depressed about Prop 8.
Just need to make it to the weekend so I can refocus on what is really important?

I like your snazzy sweater-
and your defiant "take that you oppressor" fist!

I saw the protest on CNN this afternoon. It was cool to be able to say "I know people there!"
