| Another mongo Prop 8 demo in San Diego |
|
Rex Wockner - special to the SGN
Between at least 7,000 (police estimate) and 10,000 people marched against
Proposition 8 on Nov. 8 in San Diego, from Hillcrest, the primary
gayborhood, to North Park, the secondary gayborhood -- a distance of about
two miles. The protest was organized "virally" -- via e-mail and,
primarily, text messages. Another virally organized anti-Prop 8 demo the
Saturday before the election drew similar numbers. Gay street actions of
this size are unheard-of in San Diego, apart from Pride, which draws
around 150,000 people to Hillcrest each July. Big anti-Prop 8 protests are
taking place across the state, suggesting the gay masses have been
awakened. Prop 8, passed by voters Nov. 4, amended the state constitution
to negate the state Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex
marriage, which had been legal since June 16. Wockner News photo by Fergal
