Photos: Saturday's "Meet in the Middle" Prop 8 Protest in Fresno

On Saturday, droves of pro-civil rights citizens and "hundreds" of anti-gay, bigoted types rallied in Fresno for an event called Meet in the Middle for Equality. Newsom wast there so was Charlize Theron. The Bible and God were exploited by religious zealots in favor of the voter-approved ban on gay marriage; and emotional speeches were given by real-life loving homosexuals, having to explain, yet again, that they are, in fact, regular people, not peripheral characters or wacky sidekicks.

Here are some scenes from Saturday's rally. Enjoy.

Did Mrs. Higgins really use a pink triangle to represent the woman in her calculation? Almost as good as 'teabagging'!

Actually, Newsom was not there. Neither were any politicians, for that matter. That was what the event organizers wanted ... to be about grassroots leaders, so that the politicians would not be the story.
