Doh! The day that I'm moving! How long do protests usually last?

A couple of hours? It depends.

The San Francisco one looks like it's scheduled for 2 hours. But this kind of thing, if you have a tight schedule... if you can show up, show up when you can, and leave when you need to.

The 1st Mormon Temple event was scheduled for two hours.


It lasted eight.




(I left after one, so there's nothing keeping you prisoner or anything .... just sayin' ... these things tend to take on a life of their own sometimes.)

Wouldn't it be more effective to protest at a city hall on a weekday though?

innerSpaceman 11-10-2008 06:10 PM

Yes. If you want 1000 people instead of 10,000.


The location is just symbolic. City Hall has nothing to do with this. Even at the marriage licence issuing level, the government entity is L.A. County, not L.A. City. But Norwalk is an awfully boring place for a protest.

The actual government entity to protest is the state government, and that would mean going up to Sacramento (where I understand a big protest is planned for November 22 ... and I can't go because, ironically, I have my last straight wedding that day). ;)


The protest is not really against the government at all. They did not do this to us. It is against our fellow Californians ... and City Hall is just as meaningful or meaningless as any place else.

But it's not in a gay stronghold or at the gates of the enemy, like all the previous ones. Viva la tiny difference.

  1. Somehow, I don't think that would 'help' the cause
  2. Based on the attire alone, I don't think I would be convincing anyone that our marriage is traditional.
:D

Long enough, but not too long.

How can you say that?!? It is the home of the Hargitt House!

Somehow, I don't think Susan would make out with me dressed like that.
