Thumbs up

Well, I just got back from the Prop 8 protest rally. It was amazing. Huge crowd. I was there with Cherny, iSm, LSPE, Tom, Jonathan and Gn2Dlnd. I had a great time. I vented some aggression, felt a sense of community and commonality with a bunch of like-minded folk and had a milkshake.

The highlight of the evening was taking part in blocking the traffic going down Santa Monica Blvd. We were at the SM Blvd and San Vicente intersection and stood there with signs chanting "Equal Rights" and "No on Hate, No on Eight". It was amazing. Civil disobedience. Love it. I love seeing people voice themselves and protest. I love my country.

The best part was that the mayor of WeHo was there so no one got busted. Nice!

I'll let the others talk about their signs. I loved them!

Thanks to all who showed up and protested. It was truly a wonderful night!



There is another rally tomorrow at 2pm at the LDS Temple on Santa Monica Blvd. I wish I could go, but I have to work.
