WHy didn'tthey have thsi march before the election. Some people might have thought twice if they realized how important this meant for people. Instead the cmapaign was orchestrated by moderate advertisign agencies.
We have had 39 Years of Gay Pride Marches not only in many cities in California (not just San Franicsco and Los Angeles), but all across the nation and around the world. Gay marriage was legalized by the Republican California Supreme Court because we had SO MANY PROTESTS that they could not be ignored. This gang of fascists then put this hate measure on the ballot before a new governor was elected because TWICE in 2005 and 2007, the Legislature voted for gay marriage and Nazi Gov Schwarzenegger vetoed them twice, and then he turns around and opposes Prop 8 because the movement is so broad, he knows he must have the support of some of the gay community to get anything done.

THE GOVERNOR'S CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2010 ELECTION HAS STARTED, and so has the Repeal of Prop 8. If the Courts have not tossed this obviously unconstitutional hate measure by then, it will have to be repealed by the voters, both with mass demonstrations and lots of precinct work in the precincts that voted for Prop 8. People will have to be taught to stop hating gays and that their civil rights are in jeopardy if they attack anyone else's civil rights.
