SF Protest Against Prop 8

after several well-to-do marches in la and across california and equable in suspiciously lake city against proposition 8, san francisco held a big old assert against the passage of prop 8. now, you might demonstrate that these might bear been pragmatic a little earlier, but that’s a moot item i suppose. what we have to do with with is the here and now, we can’t go back.

And here in SF, the rally was quite large. Market Street, the main thoroughfare in downtown SF was closed for a while as thousands marched from the Civic Center to Dolores Park:

an estimated 2,000 people disrupted transport in downtown san francisco on friday night, and another exception is planned for oakland at noonday today at the mormon temple. *** friday night’s rowdy, whistle-blowing, shouting crowd held signs and shouted “equal rights now” and “yes we can,” blocking market street from the civic center and jamming movement in the castro district down to the mission.(sj merc 11/8/08)

Apparently there’s a protest planned tomorrow near the Mormon temple in Oakland, but I don’t have the details on that. If you have them, go ahead and post them in the comments.

And people, remember, this is about justice. This is about ending discrimination and hate, not about beginning it or renewing it against any other group. Take it from WeHo Councilman John Duran, we should seek to ask Americans to support us, one by one. Acknowledge what has happened without justifying hate.
