Protest Prop 8 & Marriage Inequality Saturday

Although I am disappointed about the passage of Prop 8 in California, I must say, I am heartened by the response. Well, some of it. Protests have spontaneously sprung up around the country, from Hollywood to New York City. I love that our community is fed up enough, and more importantly, feels deserving enough to demand equal rights.

Unfortunately, in our fury and passion, some members of our community have targeted people of color and certain religions in a way that feels blaming and divisive. Remember, if we are to win this thing, we have to win over the hearts and minds of those who disagree with us. Remember, LGBT people come from every religion and race. Likewise, people from all across the spectrum voted to support Prop 8.

That said, I encourage you all to take it to the streets on Saturday, November 15th and protest discrimination against gay and lesbian couples. There will be protests in every state of the nation. Will you be able to say you were there to make history?

Protest Prop 8 and Marriage Inequality

Most protests will take place on the steps of your city hall. Protests will take place simultaneously. 10:30am Pacific Time, 1:30pm Atlantic and so on. Find the exact time and place of your nearest protest.

Send stories and photos of your demonstrations. I'd love to post them on Monday.
