California's Prop 8 is a medieval, unconstitutional parade of hate and suck which accomplishes nothing other than spitting in the face of equality, progress, and human decency. There are plenty of states with equally medieval, unconstitutional, hateful, sucky laws against same-sex marriage, but California and its Prop 8 are worse because it's the first time a state has rescinded previously-granted gay marriage rights. Prop 8 blows, and everyone who voted for it is a jackass with no compassion for the fundamental rights of their fellow man (or woman).
Tomorrow (Sat, 15 Nov) there will be a nationwide protest against Prop 8, and people in every single state will be holding simultaneous rallies. Go to Join the Impact to find the rally in your state, and get your ass down there and protest the hell out of this shit.

You're forgetting AZ's prop 102. Heard any word on protesting the shit out of that, too? Because I would love to.
Prop 102 is still different from Prop 8, though. Arizona had vetoed a ban on same-sex marriage in 2006, but they hadn't ever actually passed a law which legalised same-sex marriage and which they then revoked. That's why people are so hella pissed off about Prop 8, because California DID legalise gay marriage, and yet they still allowed that Prop 8 shit to be put on a ballot.
And while I don't know of any protests specifically targeting Prop 102, Join the Impact is in fact protesting all anti-same-sex marriage laws. They're most highly publicising the protest of Prop 8 as it's drawn the greatest furor, but tomorrow's National Day of Protest will actually serve to speak out against Props 8, 102 & 2, as well as all anti-same-sex leglislation.
I love you Sarah. I really really do. If I ever go down to Minnesota (I'll try to force myself onto a shoot down there), I am so coming over to binge drink with you.
