This is what we mean by Pride

Like thousands of other people across the U.S. and the world today, I protested the passage of Proposition 8. It might have been abnormally hot in San Francisco today, but everybody was in a good mood. Lots of people seemed to enjoy the sign that my girlfriend and I made:

My sign

Here are some more excellent signs that I saw today:

It has been really amazing to read about all the protests across the country. I was really heartened by the turnout, and while the passage of Prop. 8 was totally depressing, it has resulted in a re-energized and determined queer community. Go gays!

    Yes it’s too cold here, I don’t think I will relocate until fairness and equality is granted.

    Hahahaha – love the sign – but being from Canada and the West Coast, I can tell ya Vancouver ain’t tooooooo bad temperature wise…it’s the rain that’ll kill ya.

    Sorry to see Prop 8 go through, but I hope that we are in a time and place where change is imminent.
