A Prop 8 challenge for swankers

[innerSpaceman]

OK, wtf? That's not Santa Monica Blvd and that's NOT near the Mormon Temple.

Looks like it might be Wilshire. Tall buildings like that are not on Olympic or Pico OR Santa Monica, and there's no big median like on Santa Monica.

What the hell???


Where are they .... and how do I get there after work??


ETA: They just zoomed out. Definitely Wilshire and the protesters are heading west, looking to hit Sepulveda Blvd. in about 10 - 15 minutes.

How the frell did they get on Wilshire????!?

I'm just blown away that the protest is still going on.
Wow!

I don't have any details beyond this - there will be a protest in LB tomorrow night. Hopefully someone can get more info

[innerSpaceman]

I checked the KCAL link in this thread just before I left work, but they didn't zoom out and I had NO IDEA where they were ... or i might have tried to hook up with the moving protest zone again.

Turns out I likes protestin'. It's some kind of release, and positive action in response to something that's clearly gnawing at me in unfathomable ways of dangerous potential.

For everyone else: Betty was referencing the fact that she quoted my post. In case you needed the context.

I got visited by Baptists at home today. A giant bus pulled up in ront of my house and a load of people hopped out and started dispersing through the hood. They knocked on my door to give me a flyer. I returned it to them. They told me that there was important questions on the back that would answer whether or not I was going to heaven. I said, I'm not worried about that because I believe I'm going to "heaven".

The rest of the convo went like this M=me B=Bigot

B: Oh really? What church do you go to?
M; I don't attend a church.
B: We'd love to have you join ours
M: What's your position on Prop 8?
B: I believe marriage should be between a man and a women.
M: Well, I don't hang with bigots
B: So, you think it's OK if a mother wants to marry her daughter?
M: What does THAT have to do with it? I'm know many a happy, long term same sex couple and not ONE is a Mother Daugher combo. My next doof neighbours have been together longer than I have with my husband. They are a FAMILY. They don't have the same civil rights as me? That's wrong
B: Have a nice day.

I yelled BIGOTS after them.

Then I went and pit my No on 8 sign back up in my front yard.

I was PISSED OFF. There are so many more things I could've said and I'm mad I didn't say them.

The is the 5tth time since Halloween that church people have been canvassing the neighborhood. We have a HUGE gay population here (the neighborhood nickname is Lavender Heights). Plus, we're all satanic because we LOVE Halloween.

Idiot bigots.
