Anyone planning on attending the Prop 8 protest gathering tomorrow downtown? (details) As I was explaining to a friend, this has grown from bitching about some other state's dumb voting decisions to a broader desire to voice support for gay marriage specifically and gay rights in general. That's how I see it anyway, and I'd like to show up. I'd like to either catch a ride with someone, or else offer up the van to take more than just myself. Who's in?

Here's the problem with that. The protest is titled "8 is Enough"

The whole reason the protest is for people to protest what voters legally voted for in another state for that state's constitution.

It's not a love-in, not a demonstration, it's a *PROTEST*.

And as much as I am in support of Gay Rights and want there to be Gay Marriage, I think calling for the repeal of the results of the California's Voters will is a VERY BAD IDEA. The ends do NOT justify the means.

Let the parties concerned work through the legal system, AS THEY HAVE BEEN.

The reason I am going is because I'm generally against unequal treatment of gay people. This thing was initiated by people being unhappy at things that happened in another state, but in my mind it's grown bigger than that. So that's why I'm going. You don't have to go if you don't want to.
