The Face of Proposition 8 from Theremina on Vimeo.

The above footage was recorded last week in Oakland near the Lake Merritt vicinity. Meredith Yayanos -- who must have nerves of steel to have immersed herself in this ignorant mess, so kudos to you, Meredith -- says, "I was on my way home from the Lakeshore district when I encountered this group of supporters of Prop 8 (proposition to ban gay marriage). After turning my vidphone on, I was screamed at, physically intimidated, and eventually attacked by one of the sign-wavers."

Charming. And scary.

The footage is a bit low re graphic-resolution clarity, but crystal clear insofar as what Prop 8 actually means. Oh, and be sure to watch this with the entire family.

(Thanks, Warren Ellis, for getting this out.)
