Proposition 8 Upheld in California – Gays Protesting across U.S.
The California Supreme Court has voted today to uphold the controversial Proposition 8 that prevents same sex marriage partners from having the same benefits as “Opposite” or male/female married couples.
Gay and Lesbian people in California and across the United States are stepping out tonight and gathering in strategic locations to protest the archaic bill and bolster their outrage at being denied what they believe should be their rights as married couples, regardless of whether their partners are the same sex or not.
Perez Hilton, one of the most prolific and powerful gay rights activists online has used his influence to help rally the troops on his blog by pointing to a site that is coordinating the efforts.
Perez and some of his celeb friends will be at this demonstration in West Hollywood tonight. PLEASE join us!
Time: 7:00 pm this evening, May 26th

West HollywoodAfter the rally, some will be marching towards another demonstration at Hollywood & Highland at 9:30 PM.

Bring signs, bullhorns, ribbons, chalk, anything you want to make noise.
But, most importantly, just show up!
