Protest Prop 8

An ecumenical effort driven mostly by Mormons and far-right evangelicals managed to get the hateful, discriminatory Proposition 8 passed last week, taking away the rights of California's gay and lesbian tax-paying citizens to marry the person they love. ("California's Proposition 8 Pushed by Religious Groups, Especially Mormons")

(Why is it these religious groups only seem to get along when they are united against gay people?)

Here is a list of organized protests. If you live in any of these areas, please consider joining this movement and making your voice heard. And if you belong to a religion, maybe it would be nice to show it!! Let everybody see clear evidence that the people who voted to discriminate against gays and lesbians do NOT represent the only voice in that religion. If you're a Christian, wear a Jesus Loves Me shirt or a cross around your neck. If you're a Muslim or a sikh, dress traditionally. If you're Jewish, wear a kippah. Just a suggestion.
