Save Same-Sex Marriage: Nationwide Prop. 8 Protest This Saturday, 11/15
Early Saturday in San Francisco there will be another massive protest against Proposition 8's passing. But this time it will be a nationwide event, with demonstrations in each state. (Another one, you say? Well, Dan Savage has a great op-ed piece in The New York Times today about how Prop. 8 can get worse, much worse, if we don't overturn it. And quick.)
Join The Impact - San Francisco begins goes from 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. at San Francisco City Hall (1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place). For more info on combating Prop. 8 and further discrimination in state of California, visit Stop8.org, Join the Impact, Protest8SF, or get Twitter updates here.

In the meantime, check out these choice black-and-white shots, taken by phototog Christopher Layne, from last Friday's march against Prop. 8.
"On November 5th, 2008, Proposition 8 was passed by California voters by a margin of 52.5% vs 47.5%. Following the passing of the proposition, many California counties have stopped issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. As a result, wide-spread protests have been documented across the state - San Francisco experiencing one of the largest on November 7th, 2008 as protesters took to the street." (Christopher Layne)
