Like many other cities around the U.S, there was a rally yesterday protesting the passage of Proposition 8 (also referred to as Prop H8) which stripped same sex couples of their right to marry in CA. The group marched up State Street from Library Mall to the Capitol. I estimate the crowd at around 500.
Anti-Prop 8 Rally Marches Up State Street
The crowd was less angry than expected, considering what a "fuck you" they had just received from the voters of California. Of course, here in Wisconsin, gays and lesbians had already been marginalized by a despicable state constitutional amendment (SHAME on you, Wisconsin!) so perhaps it was just another kick in the shorts rather than something personal.

There is more, so follow the link...
I suspect many are unaware of it, but the Mormon Church (LDS) coordinated and funded support for Prop 8 to the tune of $20 million. As far back as the late 1990's the LDS were coordinating this nastiness with the Catholic Church.

And where were Obama and Gov. Schwarzenegger? A few words from either of them might have prevented this travesty. Perhaps a few F-bombs could be reserved for them.
You would think that a group who were prevented from marrying whomever they loved only a few decades ago might have had a little more sympathy for this cause. You would be wrong. In CA, African-Americans voted almost 2:1 in favor of passing Prop 8. What up with that?

And here are the current scourge of America. The group that wants to ruin marriage for uptight straight people. Just look at them! Clearly they are hell-bent on destroying all that is Godly and good. You can see it in their eyes. They want nothing more than to completely destroy Western Civilization. Just what the FUCK are you so afraid of, America?
Enemies of the State
A final thought:
In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up. ~Martin Niemoller
