Oh, my god, "some work in fashion, some work in retail, and some are writers?" AND SOME OF THEM ARE LAWYERS AND DOCTORS AND POLITICIANS AND TEACHERS AND **** YOU, ****TARDS. "No on gay"??? We're acting like Nazis? NOT YET, ****ers, but now I kind of want to.

From "No on Gay" to "We are not preaching hate towards the gay community" in 5 deceitful steps!

The LA rally today was phenomenal. HUGE turnout. I have yet to hear a final count on the numbers. But as I was leaving (about 1pm or so) people were still arriving to march.

I had a perfect spot. I was at the very front of the crowd that gathered around the stage. I was against the railing even. Dead center. The Mayor showed up for a short bit. I'm glad he showed up even with the fires going on. He left the rally to hop on a helicopter to go back to one of the fire areas.

I have a ton of pictures. Not sure how any of them turned out yet.

I did manage to run into alphabg, iSm and Isaac.

And, of course, being a dinglecheese, I left my phone in the car at the Universal metro station parking lot. So when I got to City Hall... I realized I had no phone. So I just went to the front of the crowd and cheered the speakers on. Lots of cameras all over the place.

I left early because I did not have water, didn't eat breakfast and was tired.

I'm so glad I went!

Awesome, if poorly prepared for, dinglecheese!

We're back from Irvine. The crowd was big, at least 300. It was bloody hot though and I think that sapped some of the energy. We got loud at points, especially when there'd be a stack of cars honking, but it was definitely not a chanting crowd.

No news media it seemed.

Great moment just before we left where most of the protesters gathered around a couple of the organizers on a small grassy area where they shouted some short but heratfelt sentiments. One recently came out to his parents and he had all of the married same sex couples join him up front. It was very good.

Probably not the spectacle that was the L.A. event, but it was a good showing, and it was good to hear people like the UCI chemistry professor talking seriously about getting organized. Saying that no matter what happens with Prop 8, this is far from over and whatever the next battle is will need organization, not just in L.A. and S.F. but statewide. It's the kind of thing that needed to be done 2 months ago, but it's not too late to get it going now.

Photos to come.

I would put the Irvine crowd count at about 14,000

I was down at the National Mall today. There were a slew of Prop-8 Protesters there.

In a way it was rather sad. In the good old days the White House was the center of most protest, now however today I saw something different. The protesters did not know where to go. There were groups scatted around the mall, some just marching along it, some heading here or there, no clear goal in mind. Eventually most of the groups I saw seemed to gravitate towards the 555' phallic symbol that graces the center of the mall. Just in time for a particularly strong line of thunderstorms to scatter them in all directions. Not a good protest day.

My sign was very popular

One of my signs read "prop my balls":D
