“Upholding the discriminatory Proposition 8 marks May 26, 2009 as a dark day for the people of California. The idea that gay families like mine should not be included in our country's promise of equal rights for all citizens is deeply un-American. While California has taken a giant step backwards, states like Maine and Iowa (and soon, I hope, New York) are leading with way towards a fairer and better tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, police have arrested kissing demonstrators blocking traffic in downtown San Francisco:
A few minutes before noon, police in riot gear began warning the crowd it had to disperse because it was blocking a public thoroughfare. Another warning came around noon. Then at 12:25 p.m. the arrests started."Going down," eh? These folks love the vivid sexual protest imagery! No wonder John Aravosis exclaims, "we have just scored"!
Among the first to go were Shawn Higgins and Robert Franco of San Francisco. The two men, who said they are engaged in marry, had stood for about an hour in the intersection calmly kissing while demonstrators all around them screamed, "Prop. 8 will go down, San Francisco (is a) big queer town" and other slogans.
Also, via Michelle Malkin and Memeorandum, the San Francisco Chronicle is providing directions for protesters to "find the nearest pro-same sex marriage rally by using SMS":
Nope, the paper did NOT provide similar services for Tea Party activists. But Garofoli — an Anderson Cooper wannabe, apparently — provided plenty of derisive commentary about “teabagging.”Video Credit: "Angry Crowd Marches After Prop 8 Upheld."
