Prop 8 Protest Information Thread

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.

A kid with a lesbian mom came up on stage and started everyone chanting. Kid: "What do we want?" Us: "Equal rights." etc Alec Mapa warms up the crowd. More pics: I must say I was distracted by the hot guy doing the signing for the hearing impaired. One of the stars of Noah's Arc, Darryl Stephens. One of the better speakers of the day. A woman (forgot her name) was talking about being raised by 2 gay daddies and her mom who is a lesbian. Lorri Jean from the LA GLBT Center Matt Lucas from Little Britain. Love her! 2 Tracy Turblads and a Xena. Rikki Lake, Marissa Winokur and Lucy Lawless The march starts.
