Last year at this time, the gay community (and then some) lost their collective shit over the passing of Prop 8, a pro-discrimination measure that effectively pruned the rights of gay married couples. The passing of the anti-marriage confused and disturbing "Fuck Mormons" banner from his home, while blaming "middle class people" for Prop 8's passing(!); and this handy map of those who donated to Prop 8.

Basically, it brought out the best and worst in people.

After Maine opted to revoke civil rights in their state after Tuesday's election, rallies were held throughout the country in protest. Compared to last year's urgent calls to action, last night's San Francisco rally was a minor, but, for lack of a better word, poignant affair. While some people went self-indulgently off-topic, the majority of the folks there stuck to the point.

Here are some shots from last night's One Struggle, One Fight protest in San Francisco's Castro district.
